I got a Graphic / computer forum.
Most of mine members are spammers they post in games only.
What must I do to get many members that know about the theme.

[Muhammad Haris]

hmm , close the topics for a while and ask them to post in the serious topics.

[+ Zangoose]

They can't, they do not know anything about mine theme.

[Matt87]

Or maybe do u want to convert it into a gaming forum, since u already have a niche market there already.

[Muhammad Haris]

maybe you can stop adveritisng at other websites/forums which are not the type of your forum!

I don't know what board topics you have. But maybe you can ask the members to be a bit more active in the general discussion boards. Also trying to advertise your board on other graphics/computer forums could help you get more members. Try to find forums with the same genre as you, and affiliate with them , advertise on them etc. Maybe you have some friends who know about graphics who could help you get the forum a bit more active.

Maybe it's also an idea to start with simple topics in the graphics/computer related forums that everyone could talk about. Maybe this helps a bit, although I'd like to have a link to your board so I can see what's going on there ^^

Nevermind, I found your link

Try getting members who do know something about the forums theme to join. Or just change the forum theme to accomidate the interests of your currently active members.

Here's my suggestion:

1. Close the games forum until the forum gets active and has posting members.
2. Turn off the post count, than it doesn't help them, so they don't want to do it.
3. Maybe expand your "theme" to include more than just the two things... and some TV forums and things like that.

Those may work, but no garuntees.

Now post about it, and add it to the forum description. If your forum doesn't get too active and it's concentrated I'd say add some game rules: Like a promotion that is given to "posters" - of regular forums. Or if you turn off post count to ALL of your "general discussion" forums, that posts are counted only in the forums for your topic, you could make them by posts, but I don't suggest that.

Oke thank you

Your Welcome, just try a bunch of stuff to get the attention back on your forum theme forums.

Quoted for emphasis we cant always keep the same forum topic you have to be willing to change it to what your members want and it seems they just want a general board here it's ok to have a good time.

Well they wan't game forums but I do not know how to make that.
(meaning: Forum Description and Title).

A forum isn't dead untill the admin gives up on it....

Just give it some time....Some forums just need patience untill they get a good amount of members.
