| haha, ok We can use the same board if we change servers, and so therefore the same skin. However, we might be able t find a better board that has a similar skin. We'll keep you up-to-date anyway. At the moment, our forum's advantage over the likes of Trials Forum and Ridestreet is that it has the three popular categories of riding under one roof, so to speak.

If we get a good url, we may as well get a good forum too lol. |
There's nothing wrong with this forum ?
Yeah, we do need a .com/.co.uk. URL, but keep this design. I use a few other forums, warez etc. In all honestly, this is one of the cleanest looking and simple to use one's.
I'm sure this forum will grow and hopefully become succesful, aslong as we keep getting people to join and post frequently. But we need something different, Majority of forums out there share many similarities, meaning that you can join any and get the same thing.
We need to have a group discussion and make this forum something different to the rest, I have no idea what yet, But if we all put our minds to it, im sure we can come up with something.
Advertisement is crutial when it comes to this kind of thing, if we don't advertise this place, we're not grow, simple as.
I didn't wanna mention shitty Trials forum, but when we up against the likes of that, we've really gotta' do something special. |
Perhaps a topic where people can suggest sensible ways of advertising? |

I think it is lie £2.50 for first two years then £2.50 for every year after that, Not really a big dent in the budget. I'm sure we could have a donations page, perhaps also have rewards for donations? Like more inbox space, or able to have name in diffrent colours?

| Ok  . Ill ask for donations into a Paypal account. Have you got one that i can put on the thread (just user name) I'm sure the members of Tangle-Forum/BTM/gearworx would donate a little for a little back in return.. So whats your Paypal account user name? Edit: Whoops, i didn't read the quote :/

| The thing is, because the only forum that we know of (Well that I know off) is "Bike Forum" We cant really advertise it, I think we need to find out where people on Bike-Forum found out about it, then sure the same kind of ideas . Craig.
