Hello there,
I am administrator/owner at anonshare.eu
Its a gaming and web design forum,
Its a small community but i wish it grow up..
My question is why members dont register..
It have been about 2 weeks to see new member... usually it has about 100 guest per hour..with so many guest at least one would register..
Can someone register and tell me if its easy to register because for me its easy

Anything?
You have so much to learn.

Quote:My question is why members dont register..

I'll try to answer but you make not like what I have to say.

1. Your site design is quirky and not in a good way. The color scheme is questionable and that's the polite way of saying it.

2. Your site is not mobile responsive. About 50% of all internet traffic is now mobile. That immediately cuts your visitors with potential to register into half.

3. You say the site is a "gaming and web design forum" but how does "anonshare" fit into that? Along with the "sharing is caring" motto as part of your logo.

4. Currently your header has 2 announcements that are the same but to different threads where you are asking for webmasters. When I see a new forum and it's asking for webmasters, I know it's run by a noob and I won't bother joining.

5. Building a forums reputation and member base can take years of dedication. Installing MyBB alone does not guarantee you any success running a forum. I'd say the failure rate for forums is incredibly high.

6. Your site is really a warez site. https://anonshare.eu/showthread.php?tid=...167#pid167 You promoted that thread in your Twitter. That's just a fact and sites like yours often have legal problems and don't last long.

7. Guests don't mean a lot because it's likely a large portion of them are bots.

8. If you want to really help your site, learn SEO. It's one of the most important factors in promoting your site and capturing an audience.

Best of luck to you.

I wasn’t aware that posting FOSS was deemed warez now.

He can get DMCA notices for such tools. He also has other leaks on his site like movies.

You won't find KODI on Github. It might be free and open source but that doesn't prevent sites promoting it experiencing legal issues.

His site is "anon share", are you under the belief that he is not running a warez site?

No, not at all. I was just interested how Open Source was deemed warez. I see how now.

Kodi is xbmc, kodi is on github: https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc. Kodi is not warez, it's just a media tool.
Kodi is not warez
I am looking for Webmasters to make some threads in that forums and moderate it cause i have no time for everything.
About the mobile theme.mybb dont have many modern mobile themes that are free..i dont want to pay for a mobile theme in a forum with 40 members.

I asked why members dont register becuae i have 1000 guest per day.. i wanted you to tell me that they may be bots and not telling me how to manage my forum and about my forum name..
Now i know that theyare bots.. nobody here told me that..you can close this thread
Fine, Kodi is not warez itself. Just a tool used for copyright infringement.

As the forum admin one of your roles is to be a top poster and be engaged with any members. Find a way to create content on the site daily. That's just how it's done. I know it might seem like a commitment and time consuming, and it is. But that's what it takes.

I've seen some free mobile designs you can use.

btw, I don't really care how you define warez/leak sites but I'm trying to advise you about SEO. Eventually, even without having downloads, you'll get DMCA notices from Google. That can and almost surely will hurt your SEO. But if you are basing your site on being a gaming and web design forum then why have these links at all? Also "gaming and design" forums are overdone, so is leak/warez sites too.

Seems like you're trying. That's good. Now the question is will you accept advise from a 20+ year webmaster?

I know this is not the thread subject, but you're definitevely wrong. The kodi team is removing all illegal plugins (third party) from their repository, kodi is not a tool to violate copyright.
If you go on this way, hacking needs computer, so computers are hacking tools ? Cars kill a lot of people, cars are weapon ?
