Hi, i want any opinions on whether i should shut my forum down.
Thanks
 
What are your reasons for wanting to close it?

edit
Because of the activity?
 
Have you done everything you can to promote your forum such as advertising and post exchanges?
 
You can't expect a board to grow overnight. You need to put some work in by doing the things that Dragon Master suggested.
 
Just keep working at it, promotiong and using the services of FA and FP -happy-
 
Just have confidence and patience like everyone is statings above.

And FM. 😀
 
My forum is struggling too, don't worry. Just keep working on it and one day your hard work will pay off. Look at your competitors that are successful; evaluate them; and see if maybe they're doing something that you should be. That's what I'm doing.

If you're interested, you could merge with my forum here and we can build a super forum! -happy-.
 
Great way to promote your forum is to add links to torrents....obviously don't upload anything illegal. I upload my mates mixes with his permission and have got a lot of members through doing that.
 
Another idea would be to start a YouTube channel where you review Apple products and include a link to your forum.

Could you pm me more information on how to do that please -😉-
 
If you no longer enjoy running your forum then you should close it. Nobody wants to be active in a forum where the admin is no longer interested. Or you could hire some admin's to run things while you get over whatever it is you are going through.
 
Well, that doesn't seem like the reason why he wants to shut down. It seems the reasoning is that he is discouraged by low activity.
 
You need to put in as much effort as you can before giving up! There are many options to try, I won't name any cos they've all been listed above ^ but keep working at it for a bit longer 🙂
 
Ok i should have put some more info in my first post.

It's been going for a while this forum but i read in another forum here that you should never start a forum till its done. So what i want to do is start fresh and redo the forum.

So i should have said Revamping. Maybe trying to find somewhere better to host my forum.

I have done quite a bit since i have been here so thats been great but i thinks its deterring to have a incomplete forum to.
 
Well if you want to revamp then I said go for it. When I first start a forum it sucked and looked horrible so I had recreate, adding more ideas and getting a better host, and the new forum was way better and I got some active members .
 
Ok so who do you recommend for hosting? PHPBB3 preffered.
 
yes phpbb3 is good, and if you need any help with your forum, advertising or anything. (accept mods 😀) im here. just PM me
