Posted June 24, 2007 Every forum has a huge number of guests. Starting a post quoting benefits of registering (ie, what... letting you post?) won't do very much. For one you need to advertise the board far more on the homepage, rather than just having a small text link at the top right. You could also spread the word of this forum on other sites/forums. Partnership with big Nintendo sites? Swapping banners/links etc... Is it possible to let people only be able to view topics if they're registered? Ie. see the list of topics, but not be able to open them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I suppose that would be possible but if anything I would assume that may put people off. It does me , anyway but that could be because I am quite lazy.

Ie. see the list of topics, but not be able to open them. I had the idea about advertising on the mainpage, so that's one thing we're definitely going to do. And the affiliating, that's work in progress, too. I think hiding threads, etc, would just piss people off. It'll probably detract more than attract. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
