Honest opinion is that you have way to many forums. You should just do the reviews in a separate area. New members or surfers may be turned off by all the forums.

I know you asked about your forum but can I suggest you fix the main page that's diretcing people to the forum. It's not balanced very well and you may lose future members, also while viewing your site I got a pop up saying IE explorer can not view pokerthis-pokerthat operation aborted.

As far as the forum I would get rid of the pop up...good luck

Just what Jermey said but I am going to emphasize the phrase "WAY TOO MANY"

It looks god but you really need to cut down and combine thoughs forums.

Thanks for the honesty.
The page that you mentioned is on an orange.co.uk freebie so cant do much about it.As for the reviews,I was thinking about a new site just for those.
Not sure what the popup was.

Way to many forums.

Why having a "Daily Freeroll", "Freeroll up to 100$", "freeroll up to 500$", "freeroll up to 1000$", "freeroll 1000$+" and "Entry ticket freeroll satellite" ? Why not merging all these?

Why having a different forum for all the Poker Tools?

Why not merging all the "2007 WSOP" forum?

Why not merging all the "Pitbull Poker League" forums?
Same for USDBet forums.


Look like some of your forums could only be a sticky subject after you merge some forums...

My two cents!

I have just finished implementing your points. Is it better now?

Also without sounding to stupid what exactly is a sticky subject?

Still far too many forums. If you are starting a forum you would really want to have a minimal number of forums. I think you should be looking to have about 5/6 forums, this way when people post, it will make things look busier instead of having their posts spread out over the whole forum.

Many of the foums you currently have can be taken away and created as 'sticky' threads in one of the main forums to make things tidy.

Another problem with having so many forums is that although it seems you are offering a lot, you just confuse the visitors and they will be less inclined to post. If they did post, they would probably get it in the wrong forum and you would spend hours every day shifting threads around.


So I would say to give yourself the best chance, go for about 5/6 main forums with a few sticky threads if neccesary.
