what kind of improvement are u talking. can u clear that.

hacks, buddy, perhaps you have not noticed that the member activity of the site has gone down as i have written above. The question is:

Why some sites have over 800,000 users while we have not?

It is obvious that they have something that we don't. We need to catch up on those points. Not only catch up but surpass them. Let me give you an example.

1. We have uplaoders, who encrypt their uploads using "aioforum.com" as passowrd. This is one of the ways we can increase the traffic. Well it is not that efficient as we all do not have resources (high speed broadband, rapidshare account etc.) to upload all the files with aioforum.com as password.

2. Posting in various warez sites is also a good way to promote our forum.

Likewise there can be numerous ways to do this which haven't been tried out by many. We just need to brainstorm and bring them forth.

Well!
* Need some good members who have knowledge about Mobile Section. (Mobile hardware software support is most needed on any forum now a days)
* We have to encourage users to posts anything what they want. (except advertise posts)
* we have to b patient on user's posts( whether they post simply thanks r etc..)
* Mostly forums have stuff like(sexual/ warez links) so its another factor that they have most traffic and members daily on their board.

Adult stuff is one thing that pulls the crowd, but we have only burnt fingers after applying that.

I am ON the second point above (I agree and I am working on it), it really helps in the long run.

About mobile section, we are really desperate. Must look out for some members. keeper and floors are doing extremely well. perhaps we can ask them for help in these sections. More volunteers required.

how about adding a note pad to all of our uploaders files .. In the notepad can be our link, what we have to offer catagoryized , etc

Lets ask our friends those are working on other forums(mobiles related). if they agree, if we can bring one or two friends with us, its great start.

floors05, it is called NFO (information file)....that's a basic idea. but PaNkAJ (and personally I also) doesn't like that. It is like not playing fair!

PaNkAJ, what is your opinion on this?
We can have a competetion for this....the best NFO file will get some prize.

Now I can accept...What say ijhtio

A NFO file is equally responsible to pull the crowd as much as "aioforum.com" password will do... After all they will have to experience the ad twice...

Well, what I suggest is, take stringent measures on expanding the forum worldwide by offering Very good prizes. Infact, I've seen that "~~~Biggest Competition of All - Winner will get Apple Ipod 4GB NANO~~~" for a very long time... Why don't the admin clear it off by giving it away to somebody who deserves and announcing it in many ways in many places. Hold very frequent competitions like this...

The best suggestion is to make the website faster by either cutting down on the high graphical needs and signatures, OR, by moving website to a very fast server. I have also noticed that, one page worth weighs almost 100kB. Now, that is big for one page!

Also, the ads should be cut down seriously... A new guest would be frustrated by the way the ads frolick around...

I've many more to say, but, I don't have enough time...
