Forum Suggestions
Posted: Wed Jan 25, 2017 8:52 am
I honestly think this forum could become BOOMING. Honestly, with the crazy things that are happening here with the Game-Boy and tons of people wanting to learn.
I think that if you better allocate some of the sections off and create a few more it would help drive in more members. And, I definitely think that you should add awards if phpBB supports that and be able to give members awards like you would see on a myBB forum.
Also, a good thing to do would to make the forum un-viewable if you don't register. That would also bring more people in here and possibly get them to actually stay if they actually feel like the enjoy the community.
Also, an Introduction section would be a nice thing, get to know a little bit about somebody and what they are here for, or have to offer, etc.
Make a section called "General" and under that should go "Introductions, News/Announcements, Lounge(talk about whatever), Suggestions, Showoff"
Take out the "sudomods projects" section and create a "Projects Section" and inside that create all your projects.
Create a "Guides/Tutorials" section and in that sub-forum off "Hardware Guides" "Software Guides" "Game-Boy Zero Guides" "SNES Guides". Also, make this section viewable only if you have a required post count of 10 maybe, also a good idea to bring in traffic and keep the activity flowing.
Get rid of the Everything Else forum because we have pretty much covered that off.
Create a "Market" Section and sub-off "Buy" "Sell" "Trade" "Services".
Also, the thread approval thing seems kind of odd for me, especially since if somebody has a question, and the only 2 mods technically are you, the site owner(wermy) who is obviously busier than hell keeping up with this forum and then trying to complete builds as well as life and then Helder who I am very positive has spent the majority of his life recently making circuit boards for people to make them happy and the other 2 mods haven't been online in a while. Just a few things to add, again, not hating at all, just giving out ideas that can help the community out in a positive way.
Just a few suggestions, let me know what you guys think.
