I would get rid of the google search at the top

I would change the logo to add some color

I would change the background from gray to white or something

I would get rid of the right side bar.

You asked for suggestions.

Gray and black color scheme is depressing ad some color liven things up

allow visitors to see photo gallery

have a message that pops up and ask visitors to join.

have images from the photo gallery on the homepage.

Git rid of that start page and have the forum come up first.

good luck

You probably won't get help about how to get activity to your forums here. Try a site like theadminzone.com or admincommunity.com or forumpromotion.net

well you know I have changed my colors three times now....and all three times everyone said the colors are wrong lol.....I have had bright and inviting colors and I have had neutral and calm colors lol....quite frankly im lost for words lol.....

Can you give more reasoning why you say get rid of the things? Instead of just saying get rid of it lol....

I just gave yuo advice based on my highly popular forums and what works for me.

Also at the top of your forum one of the first categories should be something like a coffe talk lounge.

Redesign your theme, get professional help with that. I'd either remove the portal or replace the "recent forum activity" with some valuable content, right now the main content of your homepage just highlights your forums inactivity.

the calculation will be simple... the more you want that site to raise, the more you will have to invest. coders like me are simply doing what you are unable to do... if you are not ready to pay for your site, let someone else start a competing site and he will be successful on his own.

it is not always a simple question of codelines, it is also ellaborate a real process to become famous... if it'd be that easy with a 10$, everybody would be famous for 10$.
