I'm making a horse role-play site and I'd love to know what you think I should add, regardless if you're actually going to join or not
What do you think it's lacking? (Don't say colours, FluffyBunny is helping with that)

Thanks in advance!

Hmm if you're seriously into role-playing on this forum, I would delete the General Discussion and Art board. Though if you're looking more towards a horse-themed forum, I would keep them. Your descision. :)

Shouldn't this be moved to Links? :/

I would recommend adding more pictures and different smilies liven things up a bit. People will be more interested in registering and posting when they see a vibrant forum rather than a dull one (no offense). Experiment with the settings to make the layout look more unique :) Posting around a bit also helps, because some people get discouraged from doing so when they see a forum that looks empty and lifeless. Trust me, I had to learn this the hard way in my old site lol.

Good luck!

When I said colours, I meant all the asthetics of the board ^^


And art has to be in there ^^ it's going to be a art role play (if that's what people want to do) so there has to be pictures of the horses and you can draw them racing, or jumping or whatever :)

It's a bit like a nice, simple version of the Horse Art RGP on deviantART, which is just too confusing for me, too much stuff about bloodlines and stuff :\
