I advertised this on many forums, and we had some amazing feedback, so it would be great if you could post some reviews of the forum, some good ones and some bad ones on which we can approve on.

Thank you for reading this post!

In the title of the site, change the "powered by vbulletin" phrase to targeted keywords for your site.

Edit the meta description and meta keywords so they match the topic of your site. This is what those are set to right now.

Disable viewing of members profiles by guest, example - http://www.forumbuddy.net/member.php?u=25

Besides that your forum has a nice clean layout that is straight forward and without a lot of suforums.

Thank you, but i completed the meta description and keywords. But i don't know how to disable the viewing of members profiles by guests.

That is in the usergroup permissions.

Edit the not logged in / unregistered group and there will be a setting about can or can not view members profiles.

Now edited, we have now added two new skins to our forum.

We just added a promotion to our VIP section.
'Buy 6 months of VIP and get 3 months free'!

Would love some feedback!

From a community stand point, I would suggest maybe condensing some of your forums. You seem to have a lot with little or no posts, and this will surely turn visitors who would change to a user away.

Maybe loose your ads, your board is still new and ads don't do that good for starters.

I would hold off on any type of paid accounts for a while until you get some posts. I myself and holding off until I need a dedicated box for just the forums instead of shared hosting then will probably do a mix of adwords and donations which give some type of special access.

I would reconsider the paid advertiser at the top. The banners don't seem to fit your feel of the site. Can you move it to the bottom?

The banner advertisements are on a free trial, i didn't get paid at all. Im just testing it so i can check how many clicks i can get out of the advertisement section.

We just offered free VIP for one week which has just now ended. But by getting more members we are going to improve the forum and the banner advertisement system will be removed in a week's time.

Thank you all for your comments!

I would like some more reviews on the forum?
All reviews will be looked at and it will be taken on board.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
