If you'd like more members, i'd suggest making the following changes:
- Sort your domain name out.. If you're really serious about your forum and want to make it a success then i'd pay a small amount for a proper domain name like "eliteforumsite.com" or something - this will show your members that you care about the forum and want to make it work.
- Change the skin and put a banner up. Everyone is bored of seeing Prosilver and you won't attract too many guests using phpBB's logo.
- Cut down on forums until you grow a bit more. Nobody likes the look of an empty forum.
I would be interested to see your site again once you make the above changes ~smile~
thank you for the reply
about your comments:
i do plan on buying a domain but only once i get more members
i cant put a banner up because i am using a free host which i am planning to move to a paid host to get access to the databases so i can put up a banner and stuff like that, but not until i get more members or it would be a waste if i still didnt get more. also about the forums which ones should i get rid of? i am a very organized person so i would like each system to get their own forum and i like things to be catogerized. also the skin i dont know how to change the default to show for guests unless i override user skins which i would like users to have a choice in the ones they use. if you could help me with these things i would be grateful
