Give your Suggestion on OtakuFire!

I need you guys point of view, so don't be afraid to criticize the forum in anyway,

I want my forum to be flawless and in tip top shame, so when I start advertising people will really like the forum and be eager to stay!

www.otakufire.forum.st My host is forumotion, this forum is mainly Anime / Manga based forum.

I'm waiting for you all feedbacks, cya!

Wow. Why does it look like a vBulletin board?

Well, I really like VBulletin but I don't have the money,

So I made it look like it,but not too much.

So any suggestions on what I should change etc.

The page takes way too long to load
try and fix that

It doesn't take long to load for me.

And Arturia, how did you managed? Your coding skills must have been so powerful!

Lol,

This thread is not about admiring my crappy coding skills.

I need suggestions to make site even better ,If have any please post.

The title still says "Just For Test". Change that.

Add a couple more categories towards anime(Your forum's niche).

Fill up the forums with as much posts as you can make before advertising.

Try to increase the text size a bit.

Well, as I mentioned before, start creating threads will help it a lot.

That said, maybe it would be a good idea to have anime and manga be in a separate category since Otaku is the theme. You could expand to say "Japan" (since many fans dwell into its story and traditions), separate Manga from Anime, and... for now you have three sanction of your niche. Seiyu could go as a subforum of anime and mangaka as a subforum of Manga. Perhaps a "news" section for otaku relevant kind of events, free for the members to post news too! You could even add a J-Music section.

I don't know I am just throwing ideas. Before adding more areas, it is best you fill up with some threads the ones you already got. xD

And even if it off topic, I like the layout a lot, and the vBulleting idea seems to be very cleverly implemented. Well, I hope what I said helped you, even if a little. ^^

Thanks for feedback!

I thought I shouldn't create too much categories etc since the forum has no members yet :X

I'm fixing minor issues then i'll start advertising, i'm so shy when it comes to advertising.Hopes members will actually like the forum and come there :/

It is true it is the best not to get overload with categories, but I think it is important that a category for your theme stands out, since that is the main dish.

As for advertising, best of luck. Just make sure to post some threads specially the rules and some ice-breaker kind of threads. If you'd like I could register before you advertise and create a few threads for you. =P

haha i like it lawl add more topics and then it will be cool

I think by tomorrow i'll stop shying away from advertising and face my fears even though i'm really not that good at it >.<

If you would like to help me, I don't mind.I could use all the help I could get!

Try to add some colours

the heading looks like one of big anime/manga forum, real vBulletin software. maybe you want to be careful about that.

it's funny how you put anime/manga section at the off-topic category when you said that your forum is mainly about anime/manga. people will feel disappointed if you have designed everything well, including the name of the forum, but you only put it as a forum in off-topic category. I think you know my suggestion.

good luck!
