What's happening?

[TheNavigator]

I own Life's Circle

Sometimes the activity is awesome, other times there's no one except me for couple of days or even more

I want to make an active and loyal userbase..

I admit I have 2 active members, but that's not enough to hold the forum's activity

I'm getting much activity daily.. In "dead" days I have from 35 to 40 guests

But how can I let them register and post? What should be changed, deleted or added?

Change the theme to something more modern. And try to introduce some new ideas in your forum. Also hold some contest and get people take a look at your new idea.

I'm waiting for the new absolution theme

For contests, suggest one 🙂

You aren't always going to have high amounts of activity. Some days you'll be kept really busy, while other days there could be little to nothing to do. All you can do is keep providing content (discussions) for your members, keep promoting at every place possible, take advantage of services as needed, etc. If none of the above work, then perhaps it's probably time for a ravamp.... maybe change up the forum theme to something different, etc.

Well - you have guests = lurkers/bots. Have you tried to do a post exchange, or use Postloop? Contests sometimes help uproar activity - have you thought about running one, to attract new users :great:

I'll try to consider that. Although I think that packages just ruin your forum more and more

There are always multiple reasons why someone will pick another forum over yours or otherwise decide not to join your board.

I had a look and to me your forum seems a little unclear on just what its genre is. It seems to be a general discussion forum. If that's the case you should indicate that clearly on your forum somewhere where it is easily seen. For instance, my forum's name is exactly what the forum is. A warrior cats RPG. It can be fancier than that if you want it to be but whatever it is, make it crystal clear.

Unfortunately if you have a general discussion forum you are up against a lot of competition. You seem to have a decent start, so good luck 🙂

Why wait? If you need a good theme for your phpBB site there are lots of options available.

To repeat what I have told you numerous times before those guests are bots crawling your site, as I checked for you when you had that issue and I had access to your back end, you need to get more realy traffic pal.
