a good category and forum setup?

[ZachS]

Okay so I have a Xbox 360 forum called 360Pulse that still hasnt opened.

I need help with the categories and forums.

This is what I have so far.

Ditch the:
- 360 Top Games
-- Assassin's Creed 2
-- BioShock 2
-- L4D2
-- Mass Effect 2
-- Modern Warfare 2
- 360 Upcoming Games
-- Battlefield: Bad Company 2
-- Fable III
-- Final Fantasy XIII
-- Halo Reach

And you should be good

but then the forum will look empty imo.

Many forums are relatively crowded, and have only 10 or so separate forums. Also, once you start out, you can always make new forums.

 

[ZachS]

okay maybe i can put all the game genres as categories? and then make focused discussion forums for the hot games?

Ditch the entire 360 gaming section (move your cheating/glitch to 360 Discussion). Instead, I recommend these boards added at the 360 Discussion.

- Xbox 360 gaming
-- Xbox Live Arcade
- Xbox 360 Glitching, Cheating, and Tips
(maybe)
- Games For Windows

Also, do be creative on the actual names of your boards. Create plenty of topics for new members to post on.
