first question: why do you think there is another forum needed in the www that covers topics highly discussed on dozenzs of other places?

from my own expierence with the old CoV (SoR) site: DO NOT USE PHPBB! it will be hacked as soon as some script kiddie finds it on google. google your way for a more secure forum software.

there is more to find than you can lose...

I made a forum as somewhere for me and friends to just hang out and chat, and partly because of my boredom.

maybe he was just bored and wanted to make one, jesum people...

Thats exactly why Kymizer

Frankly I think it's too broad. You've too many different boards dedicated to completely unrelated topics. I think it would be much more interesting if it was more narrowed down.

That was actually the first thought i had.

If you truly want a good amount of people to join your community it would be best to specify on just one topic.

But again if it just for friends then, do what you like. :thumbup:

Thanks for the critisism and Ideas guys!

I have made it a wide range of things so people can have more things to talk about. Seemed like a good idea at the  time :P

Yes, seriously. And if anyone knows whats good about forums and posting... it would be Phinehas.

Yay For daily supplies of Drey :P

If you look in the proflie part you can change the colour scheme from a list of options. I think its just the default one if you are not logged in.

I dont actually mind how many people join up, I just thought it would be a fun thing to do. :)

Frankly I think it's too broad. You've too many different boards dedicated to completely unrelated topics. I think it would be much more interesting if it was more narrowed down.

Such as? Which do you think it should be narrowed down to?

Again, thanks for the replies!

Such a decision is really up to you, as it is your forum. Choose a subject that you would generally like to have discussed most (or an umbrella subject that can have a lot of interesting but specific and related subjects under it) and go wild :}
