So I created some forums a while ago, and people used them for a bit and then it died. I'm trying to resurrect it, and I was wondering if anyone could give me any pointers on what to do differently.

Link: Angel Tower Forums

PS: It used to be an artist forum, that's why it has its main category dedicated to art

Maybe make a "Work Showcase" for everything, instead of just one category. And chat about Photography, Illistry, Writing, in other words works of art chat. Then have a "Lounge" category where there's general chat, introductions, and make the garbage forum un-seeable because that's where garbage is moved. Those are my suggetions, if you need anymore check out the Documentations on IFSZ.

And no guest posting! Or pointless forums!

Tell me about this "Works Showcase"
Writing: writers block
Illistry, what is that?
I'll add photography
Look under the pointless header for general discussion
I like the garbage being visible, I don't know why.

and why didn't you put this under the thread in the forum? it would have been helpful there you know tongue.gif

Work showcase meaning, showing off your work for all around, not just one forum like "Digi".

Why not put the phycaiatrists couch, forum games, and other things in that area into a sub-forum in the Off Topic zone, and make a news forum or updates forum at the top. biggrin.gif

done...any other suggestions?

Maybe a skin with the colors a little like dA's? It'd look awesome!

The color scheme will probably change to grey, but it definatly will not be red for much longer. I just need to finish taking a few graphics my friend is letting me use for it to be done...I don't think I could make a skin like deviantart's though it would be fun to try...something along those lines, yes

Trial and error, it's always good to try.

Report, edit, etc...Posted by Mr.Camo on 2004-09-03 at 00:47:06
Hmm.. That's a hard one..

But for one thing, my forum will be ultimatly sexier than yours.

well, right now no DUH. The banner that is up right now I did in MSPaint, as you can tell from the blurry ness of it. Next one should be better...
but soon when layout two is done, it was be the sexiest board of them all!

maybe not as much as yosh's...

Yoshi's board won't even be as sexy as mine. tongue.gif

Get custom buttons and work on the skin, it is so bright it hurts my eyes.
Report, edit, etc...Posted by Kame on 2004-09-04 at 00:49:56
skin: I'm changing the skin anyways and the buttons, probably to blacks and greys, and maybe a bit of color here and there...I chose the other colors cause it was the best matching colors I could find on paint tongue.gif

I don't think many people on who do starcraft/edit would appriciate an artist's forum tongue.gif Of course, I could be wrong. Do you guys know any one who may be interested?
