Can't seem to get forum active

I can't seem to get my forum active at all.
I have post it on lot off websites and still not getting members.

What would you say I need to do?

Can I answer?

I'm no expert but looking at your site it seems very dark for a 'help' forum, I don't know why but I think they should always be lighter -~- There's some really lovely skins available and even if it's not your choice you should make it default. Then have the darker one chosen just for you.

Also, you seem to have a massive selection of topics, from sexual problems to how to add a BBCode which just seems a little disjointed. I'd think about concentrating on one kind of problem (physical/mental/friendships/forums) etc and find out as much as I can about that.

Also affiliate, don't underestimate the power of affiliation. I'm happy to with my forum Life without limits if you get some kind of table for yourself.

Then just promote, promote, promote till you're blue in the face, if you are sure of it and proud of it you'll work your socks off to get it active 🙂

Thanks,

I will try and sort out the topics and things.

I think you hae based your forum way to deep in life.

Perhaps people do have problems in life but are to serious and they need to discuss to their mom's or dad's.

Perhaps a lighter theme would do

Better domain co.cc

Get a shorter domian at: http://www.dot.tk

Also, keep getting post packages on other websites, until people see your site has alot of members, posts, and topics and they will join.

I can't as I don't have any thing to pay for it

It certainly looks much more user friendly 🙂

Now I'd say: work on getting lots of different posts in, something for people to talk about when they join. Some open ended questions and keep working on it 🙂

Well, when you said you'd join mine if I joined yours, then didn't and deleted the posts I made on your site...maybe you breach trust.

Don't fall for it people, he's a fraud!
