Christian Forum (Review?)

[intricatic]

There are still a few minor bugs we're trying to work out, but our technical staff is slightly overworked and undermanned.

Anyhow, what do you think?

Looks good! Good traffic too, which is the most important thing, of course. It is better to be overworked and undermanned than having only one moderator with nothing to do due to lack of traffic.

Well, we seem to be getting about 2-3 new trolls per day, so I'm assuming we're doing something right.

I've read your forum titles and said to me "... far from the god's path"... looks like 90% of your topics are related to OffTopic subjects, so i don't think you can be very called a christian forum...

i hope you do not need these false stats in the footer to make some advertisement, because the hits stats is not representative of the interest people have on your content...

if you narrow your topics to be related to christianity, instead of OffTopic, you will have less trolls... try to expand the view on the religious matters instead of spreading the christianity in all the facets of the life...

this is my 2¢...

oh, looks like you're member of my prefered site.... lol

lol, the beef of our Christian topics occur in the Theology forums, but if I restrict the topical content too much, members won't continue to post there. I have no problems with "off topic" posting, provided that it's not vitriolic or secular.

We're actually working with a ministry team, and we're trying to shape the site to be a tool for ministry, and not just a webforum (setting up a glossary of Christian terms, encouraging theological and apologetic discussions, etc..).

And yeah, I actually used to be a super on that forum, ages ago. Now I spend most of my time at my site.

that is good... not that you have quit to be super, but to use your time on your site..

for the ministry system, this is very impressive, interesting... my opinion was related to the global point of view on the first impression... sure if we crawl a little more we can see the details...

i wish you good luck !
