    Default Could I have some feedback please on my forum?

    Hi everybody

    I've been hiring a bunch of posters for my retro games forum Retro Garden Retro Games & Vintage Video Gaming Discussion Forum, and so far I have had feedback which generally says they don't like the forum script. I'm concerned though as the paid posters have been saying "yeah, I can get you phpbb installed and integrated (for a price)" so I'm unsure whether to take their advice as it sounds to me like they're looking for more work.

    Could one of you experienced forum runners have a look around it? See what you think? If I can improve it or whether I should just tear it up and go for another script.

    Currently it's on bbpress, which is great, as it's very wordpress like (I hated the way I had to install ALL the plugins again after each upgrade). But I would be willing to swap.

    If you could I'd be really appreciative.

    I haven't had a good look but if you are serious about setting up a big board I would install vbulletin - it is simply the best. They may even have an import script

    I have a wordpress/vbulletin combination site - it is quite easy to integrate at the presentation layer - i.e. make them look the same.

    However, vbulletin has a ton of configuration options which can be a bit overwhelming

    Thanks Tony, though I'm not sure if I'm "serious" yet with the forum (the blog is really the main source, the forum is a little extra thing for added value), and financial constraints at the moment means I'm not really wanting to invest any more money ,

    But will bear it in mind.

    The forum looks nice and the content type & the way they discuss seems to be similar to a gaming website.

    I think it is okay like it is now.

    I also don't see any problems with the forum. I have had experience with that forum script before, there is nothing wrong with it.

    The name throws me off a bit. It makes me think that I'm going to a gardening forum.

    The forum looks good and you seem to be dooing all the right things.

    This is a nice wordpress/ bbpress integration. I really think bbpress has a lot of potential and will only get better and better.
