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.

Angel Tower ForumsPS: It used to be an artist forum, that's why it has its main category dedicated to art
I know what you mean, i hade over 800+ posts and 32 people on my forum, then i switched my site, now i only got 10 and there all dead....
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
Just seems to jumpy to my opinion.
what do you mean? your riddles confuse me
edit:
photography forum has been added
Pointless has been changed to The Loft
Its not bad, i think it could use somthing i just dont know what, a lil less crowded maby would make it nicer
Work showcase meaning, showing off your work for all around, not just one forum like "Digi".
check it out now...is that better?
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.
Im with him thats a good idea with the

[lol it says at bottum all 3 od us reading this topic at same time]
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.
how do you think I got the first layout?
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.
Moved to advertising??
No, creative works. She wants reviews.
not enuf blak in my opinion, but im not a girl and i dont like those bright colors, but otherwise its pretty good
Get custom buttons and work on the skin, it is so bright it hurts my eyes.
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
well try getting a trivia bot tgat gets members cause it fun
i woudnt recoment sopamming clan recruitment cause u might get cd key banned
I don't think many people on who do starcraft/edit would appriciate an artist's forum
Of course, I could be wrong. Do you guys know any one who may be interested?
