Well I was browsing the admin zone site today and I found a thread about getting new members to post. One of the largest things (according to the admin zone members) that scares new members away is alot of empty forums.
Now I think the amount of forums we have is really good, since LinuxBoards covers such a broad topic, but I have a few suggestions.
1) We remove the new members forum and put the Official Welcome Yourself thread in the Lounge. If we need too we could probably make a link that shows up under The Lounge forum that links to the Official Welcome Yourself Thread (
see example).
2) We combine some of the Linux Server forums, like maybe the Server Software and Control Panels forum.
Just a few suggestions, since having less forums (but more filled forums), according to the admin zone, generates more traffic.
What do you guys think?
