Hey all you guys and gals! I was just checking up on my site stats and it looks like we average about 3,000 hits per day.

Now, remember, these are forums, afterall, so most people do visit a few pages per visit. So it comes out to about 300 unique visitors per day.

So, why then, does everyone browse and snoop around, but no one signs up or posts? I was wondering if you loyal TechTalk members could help me think of some ways to get people more motivated into participating.

Now, I know that a lot of people just visit forums for information and rarely have something to contribute ... but a few hundred people per day are visiting, and only one every few days is even bothering to sign up?

Just wondering if anyone has some motivating ideas out there! LOL

To all those who have posted and made TTF what it is, thank you! You guys are all definitely appreciated!

Roberdin you caught that message just in the knick of time! I think you registered and posted less than 10 minutes before I just posted that. LOL

(Disproves my point a bit, now doesn't it?

Thoughts

Well if you were to ask me... I suppose the menu bar at the top is a little big compared to the site. Maybe if you tone that down a little it will encourge those on 800x600 resolutions.
A Main board index? It is a little difficult to navigate the news page for forums.
Hmmm... More themes? Can be downlaoded from phpbb.com. Although they can be diffcult to manage when implementing modifications to the code (speaking from expierence here).

..further suggestions.

I like this place it feels like home :-)

cssgal, I would suggest trying to create some posts, polls, or whatever based on news and events. That is why I have been posting as often as I visit.

Figure if the topics are new and fresh, then folks may be more willing to post and add their two bits.

AS for something more specific I am not sure, but I am trying to draw others I know here.

Maybe nab someone to be a fetcher for new things, sites, programs, tweaks, code, etc.

Re: No Posts?

Definitely a good forum. I can see it maturing. I still remember the yellow layout it had. Every time I see the slogan "where cool techies unite" I grin. =) I haven't had much time to post as much as I used to, but I do check it moderately. Keep up the good work.

Re: No Posts?

roberdin, the top menu bar has always been a lot smaller ... for some reason, I just made it bigger yesterday. My mistake!

I'm going to go make it smaller now.

Re: No Posts?

Yeah, looks much more... "fitting"

.

Hmmm... what happened to the emotiocn thingy where you can just click the one you want? Or is it a trap to get newbies?

Errr... *struggling*
The
"Goto page 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 Next", the "You're browsing the Geek's Lounge forum" and the "Users browsing this forum: Roberdin" is a little big?
