Hey Craig,

I used to be a heavy forum addict for awhile, racking up more than 700+ posts on some. I was curious though. It seems to me that this forum could be a little confusing at first since it isn't an average forum type. Would you maybe think about making a vBulletin or a phpBB type of forum that would be easier to navigate for your users.

Not that this forum is a problem for me to navigate, but I would say this is much harder to use than the other, more universal types. What do you say on this?

I changed the forum to help make it look far more traditional, hopefully this will help.

I was just thinking out of the box for a slightly easier user configuration. I am used to this configuration now after time, I was just thinking for aesthetic and maneuverability reasons. If anyone has ever used a forum, it was probably one of the main 2, vBulletin or phpBB. I was just throwing out a suggestion and a idea to think about.

Good suggestions, to be sure. I had originally looked into the ones you had suggested and there was no good way to integrated it in with my webpage.

The real issue with the forum right now falls closer to traffic than anything else. Typically forums do not start to succeed until a page has hit 100,000 pageviews per month. I fall very short of that number at the moment.

I am hoping to get more content churned out as soon as I can. I've been working over 50 hours a week right now and spend most of my spare time either staying sane by playing games or spending time with my wife and kid :D.
