Due to several unfortunate server errors, vbulletin installation fiascos, impex erros (causing lost threads) and a plethora of other things, my already small community of about 150 members dwindled to about 70. Of those 70 maybe 20 post regularly. What can I do to increase membership, and bring my forum back from the dead?

When I saw the URL, I was expecting more of a pub-atmosphere from your skin. I was wrong... lol

One thing I would do is change the colors of that skin! I would never post on a forum where Pink is the prominent color of choice. If you were Running a Barbie related site then Pink would be fine... but a pub? After you change the colors, I would add in some SEO elements to help with the engine rankings such as H1 tags.
A community is only as good as the content inside the community, so adding in great, interesting content that deals with your subject matter is a definite must if you wish to attract new comers to joining. |
