OpaQue 15 Report post Posted February 23, 2006 I just checked out your forum. It is clean and nice. But you should start off with small number of categories. Make them cover broad range of topics. 3-4 topics in a single forum should be fine.A large number of empty forums looks a bit discouraging. Start off a few topics and at the beginning, you can even allow Guests to posts comments.Just my 2 cents. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Earths Daughter 0 Report post Posted March 13, 2006 I couldn't see the site, couldn't find server error. But he's right, start off with just a few forum areas, a lot of empty forums does discourage potential new members. Maybe just two areas at first, even. Off Topic and On Topic. You can always add another area now and then and move posts later to the appropriate area. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Plenoptic 0 Report post Posted March 15, 2006 Yes I also recieved the error. I think though if you listen to OpaQue you should be good to go. Look at what he made out of Xisto. He now has a huge place. Just start small and then add more when you start to get more people. Make sure everything has content and nothing is blank with a little under construction because that will turn people away. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
