Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.... this will work out great. You didn't even change the layout, how do you expect to get people to join and to actually maintain the site? I'm not trying to flame, but you can just throw that up in 15 minutes easily, doesn't look like it's going to work out too well.

i did Change The layout O_O...to SubGreen...I like Green =] Its sorta New But Still Doing some work on it =]

He means the LAYOUT not the coloring.

DIABLO

04-09-2007 16:42:22

Yeah, exactly as turbohim said. Look at FiPG, there is a huge difference. Just changing the layout to a default one that came with phpbb isn't really great. It's also very bright and weird looking. You don't even have a banner... plus if you thought that was changing the layout you probably won't be able to add things in, such as that red box on the top left, or any other extra things you need to do and can't just copy and paste from google.

I think the overall issue in freebieland isn't a need for more forums, it's a need for new blood. In my opinion, we'd all do much better if there were ONE forum - I think it would be less confusing.

Either that, or if you must have a new forum, cater it to a specific type of user - example (please don't anyone take this the wrong way!! ) FiPG seems to have a lot of college students and much of the topics cover things that college students are interested in. You could make a forum that specifically targets senior citizens, or stay-at-home moms, or working people who do freebies in their spare time. Do you understand what I mean? I'm not trying to be discriminatory or offend anyone - but a lot of people might enjoy forums that target their interests and lifestyles.

Just throwing out a couple of thoughts...

$10/hr for every hour theyre online plus $1 for every post. Just think of how much TSJ has made.

Wow that would be a ton...I wasn't sure though, I didn't know why one would want to moderate forums for the sheer joy of dealing with scammers and numerous other idiots that we all come across. It doesn't seem to be an easy job, but what do I know.

the moderator position here is explicitly on a volunteer basis

that said, most of our moderators find that they can go out to dinner on FiPG once or twice a month. it's not much, and its certainly not indicative of the effort they put in, but it is something )

My forum was very attractive, with a lot of added functionality...and still never really thrived. I had 1000+ members, but very little activity. There's much more to a forum than just how it looks...certainly attractiveness/functionality helps, but it's really the membership/administration (moderators included ;)) and content that makes or breaks a forum.

Not a secret, but after the last fiasco, CG and Fugger have refused to take their clothes off in the same room as each other, so we kinda just did away with it.

Damn, that was the best perk for being a mod. It was good while it lasted though. I always looked forward to their show.
