Gearworkz - A new type of forum

[Summerlander]

Site Name: Gearworkz
Site URL: http://gearworkz.tk
Description:Gearworkz is more than just a "general discussion" forum. At Gearworkz we have whole categories for graphics, sports, video games, media, (Movies, books, TV, etc.) real life discussion, and a lot more. Come take a look! We are a fast growing community (200+ posts in our first day of operation) and would love to have you. If you see the Forumotion name and go "Oh brother, a free forum software!" don't flinch. After traffic picks up, I will buy a domain (probably gearworkz.net) and buy Forumotion's copyright so we can have our own ToS. We will be completely be seperate from Forumotion. I can assure you this. Your Name on the Board: Blitzkid

You mind explaining what you don't like about it?

I like the concept, I just don't like the way you manage the idea and the medium you use, and your description of "Imagine this, then that" sounds un-professional, i'm not trying to be mean, but if you want to be any good, move from forumotion.

Why? What irks you so much about Forumotion? Is it because it's free? Is that why? I can pay $40 to remove any trace of Forumotion on my forum. I can get my own domain name instead of this silly free one, I can remove their copyright and ToS from my forum. You think I can't customize it enough? I have total control over my forum. I can create new pages, I can edit every aspect of my forum using CSS. I can use any code to create any new page I want.

You are right that "Imagine this, then that" sounds very unprofessional, but it is used to describe the laid-back atmosphere of the forum. If you are so "stressed" about then would you like me to change it?

If you don't the dark skin then that's your opinion. I choose the skin specifically for cleanliness, and when I thought an area looked sloppy I would use CSS to edit it.

Last I checked, I edited the css.
Anyways. I'm SparkZ. Graphics, moderator, admin when he needs help. Also, local whackcase. :lol:
Blitz, just calm down, he's just saying his opinion.

I offered to set up a phpbb3, but he wants to use forumotion due to familiarity and ease of use. Understandable, I guess.

Side note: Gosh, It's been a long time from I've been to Fp.

Make a few more topics and posts and you'll be on your way. PM me if you need some promotion advice.

We're on our way. Getting over this hump in my opinion is the hardest. Getting enough members that people will actually want to join. It's sort of like an exponential function...

Always and I mean always during the opening period do packages. Lots of promotion forums offer these. In fact some *Cough* offer them for free. 😛

Yep. That's why I've been joining promotion forums left and right. FP has these dumb requirements.

Sounds like anything and everything 🙂

Seems to be going nice enough. But really, even if it doesn't attract a lot of people, we will always there. 😀
