How do I get more people on our site? We just started in Dec.
For a link to it, see the bottom of my siggies.

Ummm... maybe having the site link working might help?

It says that your site doesn't exsist.

Like Oro said, a link working would be a start. ;) Also, advertise on all the forums you go to. Maybe have it more prominently in your signature. (eg. at the top in big red letters ;))
I also think that having it so that you dont have to be registered to view anything would be good. So people can see if it's the type of forum they would be interested in joining.

And more members always takes time. Once you have some, you could ask them to advertise the site at any forums they go to.

I actually thought it looked interesting, so I registered. I found that you have to wait for the administators to approve before you can post. This is fine, but it may deter people from posting, as they cant do it as soon as they have registered. But thats just my views. :)

All in all, it looks like a nice forum, and I'm sure will keep growing, as long as people stay active.

Yeah, about the that thing with the having to be signed up.... We're having trouble figuring out how to get it so guests can view parts of the board... Anyone know how to do that??? :blush:

www.invisionboard.com may have instructions or something on how to do that. They probably also have a forum where you can ask that sort of thing, if you cant find it anywhere else.

And I hate to sound critical, but I just got an email saying a first and last name is required in the username. I'm not one to lie about personal information, but there is also absolutely no way I will give my full name out. If your looking to attract members, you may like to give them just a bit of privacy. ;)

It means that you make up a first and last name for your charrie and that's what you use for your username.

We fixed it. Turns out that one of the admins knew how and was holding out on us. :annoyed: So you can veiw some of the board before joining. :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:
