Forum Traffic Options

[fameONE]

Internet forums aren't what they used to be. Social media has taken over and nearly everything is instant, thus making forums a bit of a relic. However, there are forums that remain popular.

How can we get more people to cB? Any ideas?

I don't see how creating a new forum would be any better than trying to revive the current one?

Here's an idea; utilize the resources you already have which can cause a sort of guerilla marketing campaign. What's hot right now? Make use of that. Reach out to member who are popular outside of the forum. This will create traffic.

We would have more control over a new forum. Right now the only thing keeping the spam restricted to the feedback area is the fact that you now have to PM a mod to be put into the "human" group so you can post. And I know I wouldn't join a forum that made me do that.

Jusun gave us nothing to work with so now the site decays. I want CB to be active again, and I don't think that the downfall of myspace/ect. was the sole or even major reason CB is dying. I think we could have easily ditched the myspace section, and focused on layout templates. But more importantly made it to where you joined for the community/forums not for the graphics/layouts.

CB had a good mixture of people who knew what the f*ck they were doing, and people who were completely incompetent but might of had some kind of potential.

But right now, CB is in no condition to attract members.
