Default Family Bunker

Hello all

I have made this site some 2.5 months ago. I must admit, I know NOTHING as far as coding, programming, web-hosting or anything remotely concerning administering a web site is concerned.

Yet, thanx to great help at vbulletin, I have managed to bring it this far.

I have no experience, what should i do to further promote or better my site. Therefore I would like a review of my website by my honorable fellow admins

the url is:

http://www.familybunker.com

I am really looking forward to your opinions and comments.

My site is a general discussion forum for my community, which also provides music for listening and downloads, games arcade for entertainment and several other miscelleneous subjects.

Thank you
Regards
Nadeem

no one has the time nor enthusiasm to encourage me or give reviews of my worked-hard website?

What does Microsoft Windows have to do with your topics? I suggest something more friendly, not corporate.

I think he's referring to the style...

Tbh you need your own style.

Also, the banner... needs a lot of work, and why would you have a Google custom search? Use the vBulletin one...

oh i see.
well thank you wintersearch for your comments.

1) can you suggest to me how i can get a custom skin? i am willing to purchase. the current style was introduced here on vbulletin and i liked the colorscheme and its appearance. the window thingy was already included so i didnt know how to get rid of it.

2) as for the banner, please i would like to get some reference as to where should i get it custom made. so far which ever style i use, i simply edit its PSD file and add my forum's name. so i could really use some help in this regards.

3) i didnt know that vbulletin has search. i was under the impression that whenever some one uses google search, i will be getting revenue for that. is that not true?. because if i am not getting any revenue then i might as well use vbulletin search. but can someone tell me how to do it? i will really appreciate.

thank you for your valued opinion.
best regards

Overall the site is looking okay.

The logo can be done better and make link to the forums very easy to see - cause would miss it.

actually, you did not change your style, and you still have this structure that look like a place for hobos, sorry...

and about the comment regarding making revenues from the google search box, forget it... focus on making a good site before searching to make revenues... you loose your time if you do something else.

i see too much forums on your site, font is too small for regular monitors, and too much staff for the number of members... looks like everybody on your site is a moderator or something similar... that means your site have no life

and just the title of the site, i know you are in Pakistan and there may be a usage for a bunker, but frankly, i would not use this term for a parenting website... and from the use of "bunk"... read the definition a little, it's not something positive for a parent.

so no, your site does not look like a place for parents.
