Could somebody please comment on my forum?

Here is the link to the site.

Its still in progress, but I am sure it will sound awesome after its finished.

 

[Shimmer Mint]

There's nothing on it...

 

[Zexion]

I think he wants us to join and post.

 

[1. Luftballon]

but it's a forum with no existing members and no content; since, clearly, we are already members of this forum

 

[Noctowl]

The layout is cool, but it just seems lacking. I dunno, it might be just me. ^^; There's not much else I can say about it as there is not much to it yet.

 

[CJBlazer]

It has tons of stuff on it and how can it have members if its brand-new?

 

[Monoking]

It...Has nothing.

I don't think the people here want to join, we're already here, at this forum.

I think maybe you should create a site, and let that get popular before making a forum for it.

This. That way you have a larger visitor base.

 

[CJBlazer]

But how will I go about doing that?

 

[I liek Squirtles]

If you don't know how to make a website, learn HTML.

 

[Phantom]

Actually there are more steps to making a website than learning HTML... (Plus not just HTML, but also; XHTML, CSS, and Javascript.) It's a time consuming process, and will cost money along the way.

 

[Shimmer Mint]

It might not cost money. That depends if you want a domain, among other things. I've owned a website for 5 years and it's never cost me a thing.

Don't make a website just for the sake of making a website. (By the same token, don't make a forum just for the sake of having a forum.) You won't attract that sort of visitor base if you put up a website that's solely for the purpose of fueling a forum; otherwise it will end up being identical to all the other uninteresting websites out there, and uninteresting websites, or interesting websites with content people can already find somewhere more popular anyway, will not draw in visitors and will not get members posting on your forum for any lasting period of time.

If you've got something interesting or unique that you'd really like to share with a community of people, then by all means go ahead and learn how to create a website. Carefully consider why it is you want a website or forum first, though. If your reasoning is "just because" or "because everyone else is" or similar, I would reconsider and go without a site or forum for now. There's no reason for you to put the effort into it otherwise.
