I have spent months working into bring new content into the community of Bayside Gamers, The long await is finally here. I have spent waiting for this day to come, at last that I can pass this alone to the people/members, and hope that they will like it as I do.

Read thought the community announcements http://www.baysidegamers.com/forums/top ... -feb-2016/

Basically it goes thought all new things that I have added, the short list is:
-Membership
-Community Staffing
-Theme
-Advertisement/affiliations
-iAwards system
-Support request
-New twitch page

As you can see I spent hours typing everything out and hope that there aren't spelling or grammar mistake. Definitely not anyway. This gotta to be the biggest yet and I hope it will bring more new members and traffic into my community :great:


Regards :cheer:
 
Good job adding all the features! Good luck to the forum and the community. 🙂
 
Awesome additions! The structure you have setup for your membership groups looks cool as well.

Best of luck!
 
Congratulations on the new features! Good luck with your forum.
 
Congraulations, the only critics I have:

1. The background of the theme doesn't match at all.. It's actually painful.
2. I think you're trying to monetise the site far too early and are focused a lot on the advertisement aspect of it.

Good luck with it 🙂

1. Background images can be changed for members, Have an background picker option. But whats painful about it?
2. aren't allot of advertisement on my site, I have spent time and money on adverting bayside
 
1. It doesn't match the theme at all, surely I'm not the only one who thinks so.

2. Fair enough, but you should work on getting the traffic up first.. I mean there's no real incentive for someone to actually advertise on your site because it hasn't got much traffic, and it kind of makes your site unappealing to visit when adding a new advertisement package becomes an "important update"..

I might have 20% off for six or so months then till I have more traffic and good SEO that's been worked on. I have spent time and money for eight months trying to get traffic and whatnot, and look at it it's still no luck.

If you that fussed about the background image then you come up with an image that you have in mind... I look forward to seeing it
 
I'm not putting you off it at all, I'm just trying to let you see the bigger picture, that's all! It takes a lot longer than eight months to get good, decent, steady traffic that is not paid for, keep doing the SEO.

But ask yourself this.. has anyone actually even taken you up on the advertising yet? If not, then I don't think I'm wrong in saying you're trying to focus on it far too early. Websites cost money, you can't justify trying to monetise it through advertising too early to pay for these costs.

As for a suggestion about the background image, it's not my site to let you know.. But surely you can see that black, green and blue just don't work together, may I also add, that the background appears to be like a lake with the moon and sky and whatever, don't see the relevance to a gaming forum that's for sure, just my opinion though!

-I'm going thought the SEO will take around 8 weeks to see anything.
-background image is changed

working on fixed iawards and added more for membership
 
Good change with the background image! It better matches a gaming community compared to your previous one.
