like i said in the concerning forums thread, it doesn't matter that if forum has active members/members or not. all that matters is what a user decides to join a forum of their choice. be it one or many forum.

What also matters is the functionality of these forums. Especially on Proboards.
Does yours have any of these?

Your default theme colors does not feel familiar to this BSN. Instead, you chose what you preferred rather than considering the fact some people want a theme that feels HOMELY to them ("i actually prefer grey background with white text."). Hence my BSN Omega Theme being the default layout. I know you registered back on cBSN "just to look" at the themes. However, I noticed you adopted (not stealing) one of the custom themes (which was made Smangii of Slightly Insane) and didn't bother digging deep into the CSS. Even some of the coding issues as well where some links and text fields are inaccessible because they're black on transparent black, which I took the time to fix. Communication was vital to cBSN's current success as far as themes and features goes. Before you use a custom theme that isn't default Proboards, L2CSS.

my friend.. Yummy, i never put updates up on a forum right away for good reason. i put them on a test forum to test them out before putting them on a live forum. i test for any changes, bugs or problems that might happen with it as i tweak the changes made. this is intended as to not fuck up my live forums or my users can be majorly pissed. i DO this with thought for my community.
and you tell me to learn how to CSS? that is rich.. i'm sorry but you crack me up. i have been doing HTML/CSS for nine years now. i take things slow instead of charging in headfirst. it's like here's my money! i'm gonna have fun with my toy!" terrible pun, but it's close. i only seem like a newcomer to you.. but like others say, "don't be deceived by appearance" i'm lot more than it seems. don't judge the book by its cover. knowledge is content on the inside.
unlike you and your cBSN theme designs, i test them first on test forum instead of live forum. your BSN Forums are gonna break if you don't test them properly.. you might want to see why i don't put in too many features at once. you have to give your forum a time to work right. here on Proboards, the forum can break if you tweak or add things too much. it had happened to me before on my first forum back then. that was the old MESN forum.
i test them in this order:
minor/small update - day
medium update - day/night
big update - two days
major update - four days
extreme update - seven days
that is how i test them before i add features/themes to the forum to ensure that they work fine on live forum. you can't be too careful you know.
if you are reading this, then please do not tell me how to do my forum. i have experience for nine years tbh. like i have told my friend, "making a new forum is like reliving the experience when you first made a forum" i'm far wise to be careful.
