United Gaming
Site URL:http://www.unitedgaming.forumotion.com This is another gaming site but it's more focused on PSP games at the moment (in particular Medal of Honor Heroes). It's a very new site and already has a growing community. We have discussion boards on all major systems and offer some cheat codes, hacks, and "How To's" on our forum. We would appreciate it if you would check out our site. Thanks. My name on the Board: FTD Leader
Updated forum a little bit by adding new Off-topic categories such as Sports Discussions, Multimedia Discussions, Forum games, and Intellectual Conversations. Please Check out the site and tell me what you think about it.
I find the welcome box annoying and make me want to close the tab. You have way too much forums. Maybe you could combine forums or make some forum sub-forum. Another I think you need to work on is the style. I think it is too simple. I wish you luck with forum and hope the forum will be successful. 😀
Thanks for the advice, and the Welcome box only shows up for visitors that aren't registered or haven't logged in yet. I have to agree with the too many forums, and have already combined quite a few of them. Thanks for the advice! 😀
I don't quite feel you need a specific forum for compliments, suggestions, complaints...why not group all of them together and call it feedback? Try not to create too many forums, only ends up confusing users..you can always divide the few you may start off with later on.
I'm not a big fan of the goodbye forum too. I think it plants the idea in the user's mind they are welcome to leave. I would not have that section to be honest and give them the option to leave!
One last thing, the introduction forum is really down the page. I think i'd bring it more to the top if that's the first thing a new user should participate in. Otherwise they will start posting then notice it a bit late, when they're already used to the forum...what's going to make them feel 'new' and push them to introduce themselves?
Is the red really called for on the who's online, contact us and report an abuse? I know you used it for emphasis but its not going well with the presentation i think..try to use maybe a slightly bigger font, and maybe make it bold. It will still stand out.
Just my ideas, but otherwise its a super duper forum with all the colours and the scrolling news text! I really liked that and with time if you advertise well, you will get a good following.
Thanks for the feedback, I changed a lot of that around, making suggestions, complaints, etc. all part of a feedback forum and also getting rid of the "Updates" and "Important" forums, because I felt that they could both be merged with "Announcements".
I think that the goodbye forum is a good thing to have because it lets us know why people are leaving, instead of them just quitting. So that will stay in, and I didn't quite understand what you were saying about the red in the who's online.
If you have any more suggestions for moving stuff around/merging or deleting forums, I would love to hear 🙂
I'm thinking of maybe making a general gaming category and putting each of the platforms there and then putting sub-forums with each of the former forums. If that makes any sense, lol.
Thanks for joining, I'm glad that you gave me some feedback 🙂
I just did what I was talking about in the above post and condensed the forum a lot. All of the topics are still there, but I made everything look a lot more clean. Tell me how you think it looks 🙂
