Any really valuable tips for me?

Well i'm sure a few of you guys know me now. You should know i own a forum. What i would like is VITAL INFORMATION for getting the max out of my forum.. i have 5-6 members but none of them post.
Any help/advice would be kindly accepted!

The theme is killing the forum and forumotion doesn't offer that great forum software which can drive anyone away.

what theme would you suggest im bored of making endless forums so im gonig to give up soon

Well I see that a lot of gaming forums are dark and evil looking.
Maybe try brightening it up a bit?

I feel as if the theme is choking the forum...
Just a thought...

Maybe you could provide your forum link?

would a blue water sort of theme look good??

but if its to do with call of duty i can't really do anything apart from black...?

Try a jungle/plane theme.

the theme... change it !

moved to "Member's Point Of View"

First, that theme looks fine... But doesn't suit "chatting forum..."

You need to change the banner, and delete that chatty word on the left upper corner of the advertisement... I suggest also that you make the theme more colorful or something...

buts its hard to be color ful if its a shooter-- chatty bit?

Host contests with valuable price, like HTML pages etc.. but it's not that easy if you want big prize for your contest.

all i want is more activity

Better theme and things to do = activity

You CAN be colourful with shooters. You know how they wear camo, crawl around in jungles, etc? Try tropical themes like loads of leaves, sticks, realistic photos etc.

Anyway, his forum just got new theme, together with new features. Check it out again.

And yea, host some contests!

Quick thing: mod coloir is too hard to see.

Nice orange black theme though.

I was the one to help make the theme

I know, it's cool.

Host a tournament.
Change the forum banner - you don't need the link of the forum on the forum itself (Try a unique ad banner and a forum banner)
