Square Forums

[Boomerang]

Well we opened another board today:

http://www.squareforums.com

Some of you may think we have too many boards. However, please realize we are covering as many square games as possible, we only opened earlier today and we see the potential in having a board like this. I did all the design from postbit to forumhome. Still working on my own button set for it though. I will release the button set to the public for free when I am done.

Why not have one forum for "Final Fantasy" and one for "Dragon Warrior", etc?

And when you need more, add subforums. Makes everything look so empty.

[Boomerang]

Because that is not what we are about. We have been getting new members on the hour since we opened and each section is getting posts in it. I also stated above that some of you may think we have too many boards. If you think that just don't comment on the size. And yes everything is going to look empty we have been open less than a day. Give us some time dude.

You have 11 Final Fantasy forums and I agree with NerdNations!
I would make one forum "Final Fantasy" and then put all 11 forums as subforums in it!

So you would have a much smaller and better looking forum index but still all forums you want!

Like I said before we are not even a day old and we want to see how things pan out the next couple days before we do any revisions.

[Boomerang]

ok so I organized a bit of the boards made it a bit smaller.

[StarBuG]

What did you change?

Don?t see any difference

and why do you use this enter img?
it?s kinda anoying :D

It?s your choice how to design your forum
I only can tell you that besides that this is none of my interests I wouldn?t visit very often cause it?s to chaotic

I also would resise the forum to 80 or 90%
100% width doesn?t realy look good in my point of view

Don?t take this personal its just constructiv criticism ;)

What did I change? I made almost every RPG game that had duplicates into subforums. You are the one who said I had 11 FF forums. Do I now? No I don't. And how is it chaotic? It is more organized and smaller than before. The reason I do not make it 90% is that when and if someone adds an attachment that displays on the board itself it will no run across anything. Keeping things smooth.

[RDX1]

Looking better, but still has too many forums IMO.

Also, you enter img is broken, but i also agree that it's pointless, why not just have a redirect to the forums page?

[Boomerang]

The image is not broken anymore. And we are making a splash page so that is why it is there.

a nice board. good style, postbit look great, some more images for user profile will be perfect ( use RPG icons ^ ^ )
the status icon used in forumhome look nice too, forumhome need more details, more images though ^ ^.
keep up the good work, squareforums ( I love Square )
will you share that style ( I LOVE dark style ! ) ?

[Boomerang]

I think I might share it. I don't know if it will be free. Maybe like $5 or something.

[Oblivion Knight]

I can't access it for some reason, haven't been able to since this thread was posted..

[Zachery]

honestly looks like a design i did for another forum awhile ago

[muse.mu]

too many forums....it looks cluttered. personally i agree with the people who say about having sub-forums, it will make it nicer to view.

[Boomerang]

All original Faranth. As far as subforums go we have them and have created them.

[deathemperor]

I think I might share it. I don't know if it will be free. Maybe like $5 or something.
it's not that too worth for you to cost it.

[g-force2k2]

I think there's too many forums as well, I mean keep things condensed until the board gets active and topics start getting plentiful. The postbit is okay, but I don't really like the color theme all that much. I can see that you like bevels though.

Side note, you should make the Grandia Xtreme forum the Grandia Forum, personally Xtreme sucked compared to the original, even the second one wasn't all that great.
