[Grey Ghost]

Hey everyone,

I'm Admin GG of http://thevideogameforum.com/index.php and I would highly appreciate it if you could give me some feedback on my forum I have created.

I installed the base theme but made all other modifications myself, such as forum icons and other tweaks all over the place.

Honest, but constructive feedback welcome! I'd like to know what people think 😀<br /><br />-- 25 Jul 2014, 21:55 --<br /><br />Bumpin.

I would highly appreciate any feedback/comments from anyone who knows a thing or two about forums.

Thanks!

I really like it. It has a very very nice layout, and I like the lightness of it. I couldn't ask for a better looking forum. Yours is the bomb! 🙂

Nice Site! Love it 😉
would you be interested doing a affiliates link exchange or partnership with spud gaming?

Will help both sites

My personal preference but, it would be nice if some of the stuff like the shoutbox and the recent posts was in a sidebar.

Thank you 🙂

As for affiliation, ill have to run it by other members I run the forum with.

Recent posts maybe, but not the shoutbox. It would make it to condense and hard to use unless I really tweaked the CSS to make it a more miniature shoutbox.

Thank you though, your feedback is appreciated!

Thanks!

I like the light theme, it makes a refreshing change for that genre of forum. I have just a few things to say:

1) Do you really need the 'most recent' posts table? This is more of a personal preference, but I think it clutters forums up.

2) You have a lot of boards with 1/2/3 topics in it, try and fill these up with some more content, or perhaps consider making them sub-boards?

Hwy Mr. Snuggles! Thanks for your feedback!

For now, yes. The forum members all use it and it makes it easy to see the latest activity. I don't think its clutter, but I agree it's a little big. I need to make the time to edit the CSS nicely so it fits the forum layout more.

2) You have a lot of boards with 1/2/3 topics in it, try and fill these up with some more content, or perhaps consider making them sub-boards?

Will do! And yes I've considered making sub forums, or getting rid of a couple all together. For example the E-Sports section. A member requested this section but it hardly gets used. It could easily be a part of general game discussion for now.

Anime and Mange may stay, but I may make it a sub-board of TV+Movies.

I'm glad you are thinking of changes, if you remove or make sub-boards, just remember that if they become really popular topics, you can always make a proper board for them again 🙂!

Exactly! I was told to start small and expand as there is a growing demand for more sections.

I think I'll run it past the rest of my team and see if we can wrap up some of these smaller fourms into subforums and of course focus on populating everything else!

Thanks for your feedback, it's very much appreciated.

Very nice forum! It has a nice clean design, and everything about it looks professionally done.

It's a very nice forum, and there really isn't anything to complain about. 🙂

Good work. :great:

Mr.Snuggles, I have made said changes. What do you think?

myBB 1.8 is out. Thinking about upgrading over the weekend. Probably gonna lose alot of my plugin functionality.

Everyone seems to be going with MyBB lately... I dunno why, but there are so many forum owners that choose this script! Haha!

Well, I like the layout and I'm thinking about joining and posting a bit. Do you allow a signature link?

Probably because myBB is free, open source, allows for lots of customization, and has a huge community around it.


And sure man, do as you please. You can have a backlink in a signature if you want 😀

Bumping! Advice always appreciated!
