Webmaster AForum

This forum has gone through many name titles, but now we're back as AForum. We've been around since 2012. (Former Title: FPromotion.) Anyways, let me tell you a little bit about AForum and its main objective: We are here to Advertise for you.
We’re continuing to expand and improve the forum experience with new features and usability updates. Here are some of the latest additions:

Homepage — AForums
Designed to make navigation easier and help members quickly find the information they need.
Sticky Side Navigation
A cleaner browsing experience with a side navigation bar that remains accessible while scrolling.
Featured Sidebar Links
Quick-access sidebar links now appear while scrolling for faster navigation throughout the forum.
We are also currently recruiting Team Leaders for both the Review Department and Packaging Department, along with additional staff members for each team. If you are interested in joining the AForums staff team, please submit an application here:

Looking for a place to promote your content? You've come to the right place.

Getting started is quick and easy—there's no complicated process, and you don't even need to create an account to begin sharing your projects, communities, websites, or content.

Join our growing community and help shape its future. Don't let the fact that we're hosted on Forumotion discourage you. We welcome feedback, suggestions, and ideas from all users, as every voice helps us improve.

My goal is simple: to build a community that is enjoyable, easy to use, and beneficial for everyone—not for personal gain, but for the people who choose to be a part of it.

We'd love to have you with us.
 
And here's more to expand and improve the forum experience with new features and usability updates. Here are some of the latest additions:

Users' Profiles
Designed to give profiles a cleaner, more modern, and visually appealing appearance while utilizing existing template variables and structure to ensure full compatibility without disrupting existing functionality.


The hero banner displayed above a user's posts is also automatically used as the profile's background banner, creating a consistent and personalized look across the forum. Users who have not set a hero banner will instead see the default #b3280a background, maintaining the forum's branding and visual consistency.

AForums Missions — Season One

We are officially launching AForums Missions: Season One.

Members can now complete forum missions and earn AF Cash rewards for participating around the community. This system was introduced to make every visit feel more rewarding, interactive, and engaging while also giving members a faster and more enjoyable way to earn AF Cash.

The goal is to encourage activity, community interaction, and consistent participation throughout the forum experience.



For Rewards, after clicking "Claiming Today's Rewards" it'll redirect you to create a post with your progress and then you'll be rewarded the AF Cash. We are still working on season two to start automatically.

The Review Department is now officially online and running, come get your forum review! We are still in search of Team Leader Reviewer and Reviewers.

What is AForum Health Score:tm:?

AForum Health Score:tm: is AForums’ official evaluation system designed to measure the overall quality, activity, and stability of online communities.

Unlike simple advertisement directories, AForums reviews forums based on actual community health, engagement, organization, consistency, and activity levels.

Forums that receive strong scores may earn the official "Verified By AForums" status badge which can be displayed on their forum footer and may also qualify for additional community perks and exposure opportunities.

You can read more about the full system here:
AForums — AForum Health Score:tm: System

Only after approval will the final customization package be delivered.
