We've been open for a little more than a week now, but my co-admin and myself are looking for things that might help to improve the site overall. It could be something as simple as adding some coding to make it a little more visually appealing, or even something to do with the way it's organized. Helpful comments only, please! And thank you in advance!

There are way too many forum boards. When I look at it as a guest, to me it looks unappealing due to it's vastness. Also, many forum boards will divide the members and might also lead to inactive boards. Either you make Sub-boards within a Forum board, or you remove most of them and keep a few. You can increase them, once you get many members.

Thank you!

We have temporarily removed two categories and focused our boards solely on Hogwarts and the Grounds. These categories will return once more adult characters have been created and they become necessary. We will also look into a better way of organizing our boards so that they are not so vast.

I have seen near about 10 Harry potter sites and they all follow the same pattern so it's very cliche.

This is an idea which is completely unique.

Remove all floors forums, extremely cliche setup. Then,

This is what you have to do :-

First make 5 usergroups, Petition permissions (Obviously) and choose five group leaders.

I will use the elemental houses format.

Water House (Represented by a Dolphin) - Cyan colored usernames.

Fire House (Represented by a Salamander) - Red colored usernames.

Air House (Represented by an Eagle) - Green colored usernames.

Lightning House (Represented by a Cheetah) - Purple colored usernames.

Soil House (Represented by a Racoon) - Orange colored usernames.

Make 5 Forums, each for one elemental house and ensure that only members of that element would be able to enter.

Ex: Fire House members can see the Fire Sub-forum, but they can't see water, air sub forums.

There, you have got all your members divided into five factions to fight it out in RP.

Contact me for the details or if you want to, I will implement it for you.

While I certainly think this is an interesting concept and something I might consider in the future, it goes a little too far outside of Harry Potter for this site. I would certainly consider it for another forum though, if it were to be completely separate from the Harry Potter world and everything associated with it. But thank you for the suggestion!

I agree with the too many boards for rp. I see most of them are empty. Why not emplament a location tag to thread and consolidate boards. Something like "classrooms", "halls", "grounds", "great hall", "dorms", "other" and leave it at that. Your current set up makes it look like there is just nothing going on but in a select few areas.

We're slowly making progress in this department, but thank you for your thoughts!
