Klondike Quiver (writing forum)

[klondikequiver]

Hello! My forum is brand new and has few people; I would like your opinion on how I can make it better. It is a small little thing and I have opted not to "prep it up" for critique; I have left it as is and any feedback would be amazing! Thank you!

Good things,

• You have an interesting idea.
• Your favicon is unique and eye-catching.

Not so good things,

• Your layout is virtually unchanged from the default starter, it basically looks like you just signed up and haven’t really done anything to it. A customized forum banner that is eye-catching and creative will get possible members interested in your website. Any customized graphics are always helpful.
• The stark white boards can be a bit of an eye sore, I would suggest working with neutral colors to help your forum to have some flow.
• I would suggest adding a rules and information board so that you can advise members on how they should behave and what your site is about.
• The news fader is small and people might not take notice. I would advise adding a table or installing the plugin for the v4 news fader so that people can view information with ease.
• To spread the word out about your forum, I would suggest adding a board and area where guests and members can affiliate and advertise their forums. This way you can advertise on numerous websites allowing for new people to discover your website.
