    It does look tons better than the previous version, though you could reverse the colors in the forum index ie. dark green as the background for places containing text - just like in topics. You might also just try switching that light green to a different color. Don't ask me which one though since like a real man I only discern basic colors - the ability to tell which colors go together and which don't is beyond my abilities :)

    It's very slow (for me). I got there eventually, only to try and open a thread and keep getting a connection timed-out error. :(

    No such problems for me, even though I use dial-up.

    Speaking of the City of Wonders, it really aint getting much traffic. What does someone have to do to advertise these days?

    I'm not sure advertising's gonna cut it, nbrosz. Your forum seems to lack direction. I mean, you have forums for discussion of Fallout, Arcanum and Lionheart. Why would people interested in these games come to your forum instead of, say, a Fallout, Arcanum or Lionheart fansite?

    Also, it's generally not all that good an idea to start with as many subforums as you have. At least not until the board takes off. It's hard to predict what your regulars will talk about, so it might be a better idea to start small and then open more forums if people want 'em.

    Also, weren't you planning to have the CoW be a part of a bigger site you were working on? That might help as well.

    calis: one of the main reasons why nbroz has so many forums is because the 'temple of aozos' has these as well... there we did start up with less.. but expanded on the way... the regulars there come to CoW as well.. so nbroz knows what people from Aozos want...

    I think in the flood of new forums, some people drowned.

    It's quite odd actually... I can get to other forums, just not that one. For some, strange reason it won;t let me in. :ponder:

    DAMMIT! LET ME IN I SAY! LET ME IN!!!

    Yeah, well, that's kinda my point. He made a forum that offers a bunch of stuff that other forums also offer. I guess my main question is: why would people want to go there, instead of all the other, established forums?

    DU. I had the same problem.

    Somewhere in the email account that your used to register, there is an email containing a url. Click on it and it will activate your user name, and you can then log in.

    I lost mine amongst the spam, so it took a while to find it - whilst I was clearing my account in fact.

    because it offers some features that other forums don't have...
    lot's to do... (which is nice if you look at it in some ways)
    it has some features from both DoA and TA... which are the main Arcanum sites... and these sites bring forth the most of the members.. probably...

    and when it gets more members... it will be one busy place... neat!
