The "Why aren't you joining?!" Thread

Foxx · 08-03-2007, 01:49 AM

I thought of this thing we could do. Hopefully for it to be helpful to other administrators.

What you do is tell the person above you one reason why you wouldn't join their forum. That doesn't have to be literal; by "Why won't you join my forum?" I just mean what is the forum lacking. So you explain to them one thing you think is weak about their forum and how it could be changed. Hopefully what you say is helpful, not rude, and then the forum owner takes it into consideration and possible improves.

Alright then, I guess the first poster can start with my forum. My forum is Webmaster Meets Administrator Forum. Tell me one thing you think could be changed, post your forum, and we'll continue. This may or may not work...

Too many forums, you should try and condense them it will make you look more active.

Thanks Ryan. Sorry for posting it in the wrong forum.

So, for AdminFusion... I'm not joining because it's pointless and has the worst admin... J/K!

Foxx...

For me the site just doesn't call out to me when I visit it.

This is an awesome thread, had to get involved

mh0825...

I feel bad putting this, please dont hunt me down or anything!!

I have a bias sort of view because politics really doesn't appeal to me, i guess this is what this thread is all about huh, positive criticism.

At first i had to read the first paragraph on your mainpage to find out EXACTLY what it was the forum was about, i ended up reading it twice as it wasn't 100% clear to me, i got a slight jist of it, but had to read it again just to make sure.

The colors also were abit too much for my liking, i think its because im not a big fan of having the blue,white and red all mixed together so much... i think maybe if it were my forum, id of gone more for a 'All Singing All Dancing American' header but left the main forum board itself, more one to two colors if you get my drift?!

I also believe the solid colors are having an impact on me sort of disliking the color scheme.. maybe try some gradients?!

oh god i feel bad!

My forum for the slaughter is: FuzionPoker

p.s. is it possible to have more reviews from more people, i.e after ive posted this, can i respond again to someone elses post and send my forum into the firing range for a second opinion? i hope so because i can see this thread been really helpful!
