MyBB Community Forums

Good name and a good start, but as you have stated in your original post, you need a unique theme to start attracting people to your forum, afresh is a nice theme but it is overused if you want to stand out in the crowd I suggest taking a gander HERE for a nice theme.

What about this?

That's a good theme, bu not as good as a custom one.

I was trying Black evo, but it was awful.. Using the afresh black and dark fusion.

I've come to a decision. I, myself like A fresh Black, therefore I'm going to keep it, I have looked through every MyBB theme on this site, found none that wow me, as time goes on I may think about changing it if I get lots of complaints, but for now, it stays.

Besides, I know the style creator will update the theme when it comes to MyBB 1.6 as the guy who made it is trusted and respected round here - Justin S.

I will make one or two style changes, for example, I'm going to remove the "Calender" link from the header.
I'm also going to add an affilation section to the site, already got one big site ready to affiliate with, so that should drag in some traffic.

I have made my decision that once the site gets more 50 members, I will purchase a domain and run a poll to see what domain (.com,.net.co.uk,etc) my community wants. As for the hosting, It's free, however unlimited space, bandwidth, FTP accounts, email accounts, 99.9% uptime. There was some maintainance with the host the other day and we've just been updated to the latest cPanel and the servers have been upgraded along with the name servers, so if you do experience downtime, it's just for a short while while the DNS updates.

So to sum up. The theme stays, domain will be coming, affilation is coming, so please do not suggest anything related to these.

I have cleaned out this thread so it can get back on topic.

Can everyone please remember to abide by the Showcase rules here http://community.mybboard.net/thread-50415.html, in particular please make sure your criticism is constructive and that you are criticizing the website, not the user.

I've changed the theme, please give me your opinions on it.

Are you sure having a shoutbox is a wise idea?

The theme looks nice.

Why do you think it's not a good idea to have a shoutbox?

Regards,
George.

They say having a shoutbox slows your members posting rates (which is probably true), but when I disabled mine everyone became inactive because they couldn't chat with one another. I think its a nice addition to have but if your just starting your site out, I would say disable it for now.

Taken your suggestion in Skyance, however I've changed to Members only. Thanks anyway.
