Default Uk's Only Nightlife Forum - Review Me ;)

Hey Guys

Want a quick review on my nightlife forum, been up around 8 months now. Wanted some hardcore reviewing of the concept. Think it'll catch on? got any ideas I could add to the forum?
Let me know what you think of the Forum In general

Cheers Guys

Hey, you have got a good domain name.

* The logo needs to be worked on, it needs to match your niche. Even i had a similar forum in the past (I've attached my banner for you to have an idea of what i am saying)

* Also too many empty forums, i would remove few of them till the forum starts picking up.

* Also i would change the status icons to match with the forum.

* Get a favicon.

God luck with the forum.

Cheers Social Teenz!

Your definitely right with the Logo, I keep drawing one out, but i'm never happy. Would be right in saying, if the logo of the site looks shite and half hearted, that the end user will think the same and go elsewhere.

I did only have 4 cities, I've just bumped it up to 8 or so, reason being is because it was targetting a small minority. Spending the next few days trying to fill it up, also I have that paidforumposting in progress, 1-3 posts out of 10 tend to be ok, but its been helping to make it look like its active.

What about the concept, 'Nightlife' think it could be success?

Thanks for the Input!!!

Hey again, paid posting only works to an certain extent. So, better to start with few sections at the beginning till it picks up.

Regarding the concept, even i had a similar forum. But i never had time to manage, so i sold it. Try social networking sites to promote your forum.

This is the status icons i was talking about...

Make your forums darker. It'd really be night life then.

Key points i have down so far

1. Change the Logo (its a must, too plain and boring)
maybe an outline of a skyline ? with Talknightlife in Caps?
2. Status Icons (i agree) anyone know where I can get them from specifically? or just taking them from other templates?

3. Favicon am guessing its the Icon displayed in the browser?

4. from the coffee lover tone the white down a little, I'll have a little play around

Cheers guys, if u've got any more input, shoot away!! much appreciate it.

or any cool tools I could add to the forum, u know like these Car Enthusiast forums have 'the Garage' where they store their photos of their cars n stuff. Anyone got any recommendations for a tool which could be adapted for nightlife

Thanks

1. IF you are asking for help post in the correct section, i am not sure people would notice that.

2. Just google for forum status icons / status icons

3. Exactly.

May be try these....
