about getting people to join and post. I have a few good regulars but that's it. Think it might be the skin I'm using? Most people say it's hard to read. But I don't know. About 3 people of the 13,000 that have seen it from Google Adwords have joined.

:mad:

Bolttraining.com is the site. Please give some suggestions.

Firstly, patience! It will obviously take some time for people to get there. In saying that, I do think the skin is quite tailored to only a minority of peoples' tastes and maybe you'll want to work on this.

Hey, I got a new skin that should be better.

Speaking of "patience," you have made progress, haven't you? (In terms of members and posts since your last visit here).

That's a start. I would change the welcome message at the top so that the font matched the rest of the forum - doesn't really fit in at the moment. :)

is much too large and in your face. If you have to scroll down to find the forum, that would be a turnoff :)

Also reduce the "black space" and logo size at the top :)

In my browser, the "black space" and announcement take up all my above fold screen.

If you are in college a good way to get people to join is to post p flyer's. You can also try to hold several referral contests, where the member who invites the most active users gets a prize.

From what I notice your site is down right now. Which pulls people away, uptime in my eyes is critical. Oh well, I will join when its back online.

Bolttraining.com is not accessible from my end?

Well If you are setting up a forum and want to see a forum filled with people (You should have started it 6 years back actually)
Otherwise you can wait for 5 more years to see it filled.

Yea.. maybe its me... but probably having the forum come up would help =)

Post back when its up, i'd like to check it out...
