I am having problems with my site. See, no one will join or... people join but do not make any type of messages. Does anyone have any suggestions to make my site better?
PS: Thanks to all who joined :)

well, not to be rude, but the reasons a lot of my attempted forums died was because it wasn't... real. Like, no domain, no extras, etc.

When MySillyPC got its domain, plugins, extras, it took off. In about 2 months we had 150 members. But... that later died as well for us.

Well, imo you can start more threads, the more threads you have the more likely someone is to post in your forum. Also, maybe make new forums (not sites) or delete some that don't seem to be getting much activity. ps, just my opinion, but I liked when there were buttons on the navbar :P

I will try, I have no interesting threads to make aside from Off Topic Talk.
Right now, I am helping out with some desktop previews.

I am adding links to the navbar, like "New posts" or "Today's posts"
New logo will be surprise to all.

You are the only one I know who has that opinion, but Alienhead told me...
PM FROM ALIENHEAD::
"We are going to have a new style, we don't need to follow the other two big GUI sites.

MARKOZ:
Just now learned how to make cool text in photoshop, not a noob anymore lol!

ALIENHEAD: Finally Grew up lol."

So the P.M went on and we decided to use this unique navbar style. :D

UPDATE, I made a new logo, not as different as the old one, but when I have full time, I can make on that will work perfectly.

what I meant about the navbar is that the gradients a bit too light, maybe make it slightly darker in the middle

Yep, in my opinion the edges are too dark, but the most important thing is to do is work on the spacing of the text. I may put a little dark to it.

If you can spare a few bucks, get a domain and some hosting.

The way I see it, it's the community that makes a forum-based site take off.

You need search engines to have you, so that people who are interested in what your site's about can find it, and take it seriously as it would be a real site. Get what Im saying?

IMHO, it's this free-forum thing that's holding your site back from it's potential.

I am actually working on money for a domain. Many people and their free forum based hosts still get a lot of members and activity.
