MyBB Community Forums

Hello
I have a new MyBB forun up at http://zuerst1.com
My main business is trying to sell 420 domain names but I have the forum up as a general News/info type forum,everyone is welcome,rules are posted.It has been on-line about a month,using the stock MyBB theme. comments welcome!
I would like to darken the type print without changing the theme and will figure that out later,its a bit bright for me.
I have used many different forum softwares but really do like the MyBB the best!
Thanks for looking!

Your logo looks neat but is way too long. Change it to simply Zuerst1 - or add "the network forum" or "The Network Forum" in small text. That will help "brand" your site while retaining a descriptive function of it.

I think you're posting threads too often. It'll be hard for new people to keep track, and it is a little unwelcoming when you see heaps of threads with no replies. The logo is pretty basic, but you could have made it look a lot better by producing a PNG image with transparency. Without transparency it looks quite contrasting.

I wish you luck, and with a few changes to how you manage the site it could turn out pretty decent.

Hello
Thanks for the feedback!
I'm not quite sure what is going on at my forum. I now have 609 members and ZERO post by members! yup I posted everything on there. This just don't add up,the law of averages says someone out of 609 registered would post!.
If it keeps up I will have to delete the forum as I'm not going to operate it that way.
See specs from YOUR forum and compare with MY forum and tell me what is up?

Have you checked their profile too? See if they add a link in signature or in their profile website field. That's pretty old spamming method. If they make a spam post, you will more likely delete the post. So their link won't stay. But if they put link in signature and won't post at all, you won't notice the link, but search engines will.

I usually prune members with 0 posts after some 1 or 2 months of their registration. This will remove most of the spam bots.
To prevent them from registering you can use Re-Captcha, Registration security question and Stop Forum Spam.

I fixed it,I deleted everyone!

I fixed it even better,I deleted the whole website!
