to change or not to change - that is the question

Hello my fellow gamers.
It has come to my attention that this forum is hardly used. I was wondering if more people would start using our forums if we took back the section ig. GBA, CONSOLE, TECH PROBS, GENERAL GAME DISCUSSION and so on - you get the point. If any of you think that this would put more joy and life into this forum please feel free to share your comment here.

A more prominent link would be a good idea.
Or even making sure the forums get a link in *all* articles.

yep, a "post" for every article would be nice.. having the board to be our comment system as well, though ikonboard doesn't allow it... and our scripter(s) seems mad busy nowaday

surely i will look into this.
i will have to work out a solution with the scripters.
any other comments on what would make the board better is welcome. would the sections help to improve it etc.

How about just adding a link leading to the messageboard beneath EVERY news article that we add next to "related link", saying something like "Discuss this article on messageboard"?

Dennis, we had it like thtat for a lot of time... and it didn't help out, I could put it backup, but the forum has already lot of visits (last 5 posts are linked on top of left frame)

Before the site didn't get as many visitors... Just my opinion though. You could try doing that I guess, just write the link in UNDERSTANDABLE ENGLISH because I believe last time it was fat Italian English and that's why no one clicked

click here for pasta
click here for pizza

who doesn't know those leads to forum and to homepage?

Dennis S. · 10-02-2002, 08:56 PM

Everyone non-Italian... And "click for macaroni" leads where?

hiv · 10-03-2002, 06:33 PM

to a dictionary .... you pervy out of the middle of the world misspellers...

MACCHERONI ... ok?

btw, click here for maccheroni leads to the forum of course...
