Despite the decent attendance, our forum has really low activity last days, sadly. I prefer to discuss a problem publicly before it started to threaten the whole project, so I'm asking you - what caused that, in your opinion? If we need more topics here, I can create them. If you aren't interested much in the whole forum idea - please tell that, we'll try to think of something. Just don't keep silence, because that's the worst thing that forum members can do for the forum. Thanks

You know the answer - no one knows about this forum  Even SR doesn't link here.

That's true, but still... this could explain low attendance, but not low activity. In other words, some people know about the place, but don't post almost anything for the last few days. I'm trying to understand the reason - maybe they are losing interest, maybe they are too busy (which is usually the same thing  ), maybe it's something else.

Well, the reason for me is I am pretty busy now with school and 6th form but I do try to post when I can. Also I guess the place could do with a few more topics but that's my only idea on improovment.

Nah, the forum is great - but I'm indeed busy as well. Just wait for Christmas or so, when things finally slow down a bit, and everyone has more time for the family, and of course for  as well.

I don't think there are any problems with the forum, in fact it's shaping up to be great place! I think the lack of activity is just one of those slow spells that all forums go through at times, I wouldn't worry about it. In fact I'm seriously impressed that such a nice community has developed here in such a short time. I certainly don't have any complaints at how the forum is run, I think you and Marco are doing a great job

I've been very busy with schopol projects lately, so I haven't been able to post much. Also, I agree with JW, this forum is good already. In fact, if this forum was advertised elsewhere, then jerks might start coming in and ruin it for all the kind people that are already here.

Sorry for my little contribution to the forum activity... despite being online here for at least 3 hours a day, finding things to say is quite hard without being depicted as a troll :/
Nether-the-less, try harder I shall.

The forum is fine Daggy, it is more that people are a bit busy, plus you moved the server and that stopped me from even accessing it. I too have been very busy, taking tests for college and prepping my stuff to move and finding a new job in a new town, and dealing with it with almost no money. So dont worry about the forum's activity, it will get all sorted out in time.

I have no messages because I don't speak English well, but I'm reading your posts.
P.S. I'm sorry for my bad English.

For me, its the theme that does it. It's too "default" you should create a new theme, and being the PHP nerd that you are Dag, it should be simple to create one.

PHP programming and designing a forum theme are different things.  Designing is closer to art rather than coding... I don't think another theme will force anyone post more. It's topics and posts what makes forum, not the decoration. But I'll try nevertheless to do something with that once I have some free time.

Agreed. It might be the default theme, but hey, it's nice and simple, and everything works fine. We have some Simpsons smileys, and we have a Lisa-themed "new" icon. What else do we need?

I think that they might be right daggy. I would love to be able to use a new theme design. Or maybe just make it so that every member could choose their own theme. I know that most forums have a bunch of themes that can be downloaded for free from the main host.
