Right, I have joined the official probaords forum and advertised my site to get opinions from members..... however the results show that I need to do alot of work on this forum.
Here are the members opinions
I really don't want to change this forum as I like it the way it is, but some of the members do have a good & valid point, though I may leave my forum how it is for the time.
So I want to hear your suggestions too of what do you really think of this forum? It's unlikely that I would change this forum, but maybe just a few minor changes.
Here are the members opinions
The colors are ok. They would look pretty good if you added a darker background. Some custom images, and getting rid of <<HOME>> would make the forum look more organized.
7/10
7/10
Innovation
Well, not original, but there most certainly isn't a lot of RPG/Anime boards when looking at the Theme:Total number ratio. Also, having a section just for one animé film is certainly clever.
Score: 5/10
Colous
Well, the colours are far too feminine. The neon pinks may suit girls, but it certainly won't attract many males, which automaticaly reduces the possible member numbers. Likewise, going with an electric blue theme will not attract female members. Even going with pale versions of these colours would be biased. Why don't you try using a creme colour scheme? Also, the grey coloured bar sticks out like a sore thumb, I advise changing it. Also, you would benefit from having a coloured scrollbar. Your banner, although the colour is gender biased, does match the skins overall colour.
Score: 3/10
Images
Apart from the banner, which does match the overall colour scheme, there is no other default images on your board, which is an instant turn off for a lot of PB members. Minimum score only here, sorry.
Score: 1/10
Coding
Absolutely no custom codes that I can see. Unfortunately, this means I cannot give you any score here. Sorry.
Score: 0/10
Activity
Well, you do not have a lot of members, your forum is still fairly active. Not the most active forum, but still active enough to potentialy attract members.
Score: 3/10
Overall
Well, you have a lot of work to do in the image/colour area. If you improve on this, or choose not to, then consider adding custom codes. You can find them here or at SolidSnakeDesigns. I wish you the best of luck with your forum.
