I could use as many suggestions as possible. 🙂

• Community category should be all the way down
• Add-on and Styles forums should be removed unless you are going to make some. If people want to advertise their add-on or style they will do at the official forum, not a fan site.
• Make Graphics and Tutorials a main forum to replace Add-on and Styles.
• Add content! Make some tutorials, graphics, etc.
• Try to customize you forum as much as possible. This helps show people know that you area XF expert. No one is going to join forum software fan forum if the admin's knowledge of the forum software is low.

Try to give people a reason to join your forum instead of just staying at the official forum.

It isn't a fan forum so i'm confused by some of your suggestions. Also the add-on, styles sections isn't for just themes I make its for everyone. So I think your confused by what forum it is. Removing them would be like deleting the forum anyway. Why should the community catagory be all the way towards the bottom.

The theme is totally custom itself if you didn't know. 😛

Then what is it? You do not offer anything other than a place to talk about XF (At least from a gussets POV). As of right know you do not offer guides, add-ons, styles, or anything that the official forums does not offer.

Also the add-on, styles sections isn't for just themes I make its for everyone.

I know that. That was I said "If people want to advertise their add-on or style they will do at the official forum, not a fan site." There is no need of place to promote their add-ons and styles when they can do that at the official forum.

Why should the community catagory be all the way towards the bottom.

You forums main theme is about XF? If it is then any categories that have to do with XF or forums should above any other category.

I know that (Nice style :great: ). You should try to do some custom code work to make the forum stand out.

I am not try to be mean, but I do not see the point of joining the forum when I get all the things you offer and more at the official forums. I have forum that, which will be open soon, is using XF and I would love to join your forum but here is no point if you do not have anything to offer that the official forums does not.
