Hey guys and girls. I feel we have a semi to fairly intellectual bunch here, how can we increase the base numbers of this site? Spamming other email accounts isnt so great so can anyone think of anything? We have around 10-15 members here at the moment regularly (and that i feel is me being optomistic.) When I was at school I managed to get a few people in, but after three years at university it accounts to the grand total of........... well regulars........ sweet fa. I realise more members creates more problems, but I am a member of other forums, who have been running a much shorter time than us and have a way bigger base of people. One focuses primarily on warhammer models building, creating, painting etc. Its got around 300 active members if not more and probably so. Also I am worried that when people arrive at the forum they see White Counsil and think lotr geeks, which some are, but even so Do we need a reimaging? or do we need a new main skin? I am quite tempted to try and tidy up the site, but I remember last time it was done it was a bit of a disaster. Ok guys GO!We have great designers (Hi bere ), clever writers (pitches anyone) and me (take the glory for your work...) |

I think the main thing that puts off new visitors is the... bigness? of it all. When I was new here it took me a few days to find my way and find out what the forum really was for. There is so much to see and do, it's overwhelming and a bit intimidating. Maybe change something in the category setup? Or a general welcome category/thread that explains just what this forum is and does. New skins/themes never hurt either. I was trying to find out how to make one for you guys as a random surprise, but I think I need to register to zetaboards for that. And of course keep the active posters active. Competitions! Stuff to do! Spam! Discussions! Just keep on posting. |

Just changing FHaG to a sub-forum in the roleplay section, or a sub-forum in a sub-forum there would go a long way towards making it less 'big'

I really don't think FHaG should be made any smaller. Also, I made a skin a while back which looks something like this: ![]() If you want to steal that. Pretty plain though. |

FHaG kept this forum alive when all else failed. It shall not be demoted. That being said, I do agree with the intimidation thing. I'll consider doing something about it.

I put a link in my signature on Warseer. So far no warnings from mods so it can't be against their rules. Although I think an advertising topic would be. |

Noobs who leave only because they see "White Council" are noobs and shouldn't be here anyways. About the default skin, it's a bit blinding to look at. I think you should change it to a darker color (though I guess this is the White Council) but it's blinding! |

Also, it isn't immediately clear to me what the purpose of this board is (all boards I've joined were spun off some online game, and just used for community and general discussion) ... and I'm still not sure if I understand it yet. |

I'm not sure about the focus of this board. But for the board I'm an administrator on, very little discussion is actually about RuneScape, the game our board originates from. The board is focuses a lot just on general discussion, with little discussion about in game events. |

Yeah you could use some new themes, too. You should also try to compress the number of forums and subforums you have, it's a bit overwhelming. Edited by Someone, Oct 22 2010, 05:59 PM.

The forums have been compressed over the past couple of days. Also, try to not post so many times in a row, edit your post if you have something else to say before others post. |

Ok guys, I have compressed the forums and subforums (I think) and it seems a bit better. Also I have disabled the horiffically bright blue and orange zetaboard. It burns. I might move ogame into the computer games section as a subforum. |

Do we need a reimaging? or do we need a new main skin?
GO!
