Looking for some students to help me get my StudentCity Forum going basically its a forum for general interest and student activities which lets students from across the country interact

ATM i am looking for moderators,posters and people to spread the word.

http://studentcity.proboards3.com/

Not too keen on the colour scheme as it doesn't make easy reading.

Also 3 choices under the Sport section may be better being changed. As a girl my interests haven't been refelected (I HATE FOOTBALL) so maybe a general sport section or something?

Same with Music, some genres have been missed out. So a general music section or something?

Maybe an advice section for students with problems?

yeah instead of categorising everything, you should have more general forums.

Maybe we should just get a 'Students/university' section in this forum?

As a hardened and embittered forum moderator (not on here)... I can strongly recommend you look for a niche within the student life cycle and look to provide for that...

Expect things to take at least 2 years to build up momentum and then, when they do, for all hell to break loose with power plays, trolls, etc... to spam your forums, coup d'eta attempts... etc...

It's a great experience, with a steep learning curve and a LOT of hard work so be warned... :(

Good luck :thumbsup:

Definately a nice idea, but FAR too many topics. It's hard enough spotting something on here - you have 12!!

Maybe Learning, Accommodation, Leisure, General ?

Like others said too many sub-headings and student cliche topics that I don't even think students are interested in.

Colour looks good to me though,

Good luck

:P Nah.. just making the distinction that I don't moderate on SF.. but that my bitterness comes from elsewhere relevant to students..

Now put the baseball bat down and back away... :loopy: :thumbsup:

When i went on it i thought theres definitely something lacking here. Posts! Its no good without posts. Ill post some for you dont worry.

As an Forum Admin myself, i think the idea of a student forum is great (i would know that's what i'm admin of!), but ditch the proboards ! (ads and rubbish interface) gor for phpBB.

For the scheme off course it's important but hardly difficult to change.

I wish you could luck launching your forum,
Greg
