My Feedback so far..
Hey everyone..
As you all know, I have been here only for the 1month (since Nov 2007). But I'm not new to communities..
I would like to give my feedback and how I see this forum..
1) This forum has a lot of potential, but which is not being tapped as it should. I think if some careful plans are drawn, this forum can be profitable for everyone. For members - a good alternative to "digitalpoint forum", for admins - "a good income revenue"
2) The look of this forum is good. But some improvements might be:
a) Re-organise the structure of the forum. I see it TOO crowdy, TOO much corners..etc It is really a headache for new members to keep up with ALL those scattered areas.. It is time consuming. (You could take the example of forums.digitalpoint.com, they are a BIG community, but yet the organisation is good.)
Try to re-organize it into more specific areas. Don't split 1 area into dozens of sub-ones. This way, a forum gets out of hand unless you have a large staff to consistently maintain it.
b) Change the theme of the forum. This default color is too common. Since, I think the aim of this forum is to be in a high level, why not also invest in having a unique design for it?
3) Also, I see that even after 38 posts, I cannot have a signature. Man what is this? A member of any forum should have signatures, this is a way of expressing ourselves. (Yeah do impose some restirctions)
Also, My blog is not featuring in the "Recent Blog:"
You see, your restrictions are far too high.. While you should have certain rules and restrictions, don't make it that high because this will discourage members in the long run
-----------------------
Well, these were a bit what I felt during my 1 month stay here.. Please don't take my comments negatively, I'm enjoying my stay here though in my first weeks I were only posting some "business minded topics"...heheh But when a community is that big, time is limited..haha. Nevertheless, as time passes I do feel at home and I then express myself more like what I wanted since I'm not really a business minded guy. I strongly believe in team-spirit and socializing in communities. I sincerely hope I can also provide some of my experiences as and when needed.
My Best Wishes,
