Make a new forum site?

Postby mrdragonboi » Sun Nov 14, 2021 3:34 am

Because this forum site, using phpbb, may look "old" to some (I'm more neutral), and somewhat "confusing" (I agree with this), maybe remaster this forum site, so that way it can look more "better"...

I'm not saying this forum site looks garbage, its not. Its just, because it may look "old" and/or "confusing" thanks to its design...

I don't see how the forums look old or confusing at all.

This forum certainly could have use of an upgrade, and I am fairly sure there are newer versions of phpBB available with more modern and intuitive features without having to throw the current forum database out the window.

As for the poll: New forum site? No, absolutely not. We can simply get our existing forum upgraded to a newer version.

Edit 2: as for the forum themes: They are garbage. Either they look nice but have a too narrow fixed max width, or they looks like random colours where thrown together. The only usable ones is the one coming with phpBB named prosilver. It is very boring to look at, but at least it fits the window size without giving me head ache.

They don't? I thought they were going to move away from phpbb at some point.

I'm glad they won't, I like this forums.

There were plans for a while, but they changed their minds. And with TiS upcoming, no discernable changes will be made on the ToS-front to begin with.

Um, scroll up and it'll say "Town of Salem Game Forums", it's not a BMG forum
Damn I'm too lazy to add anything.

If you see "Purple Popcorn" in your game I love you.

Let’s face it, if this forum site is outdated and barely used, a new one would die instantly.

I don’t think advertising is going to fix the situation. Does BMG even have any money to buy advertisements with?

It's not that hard, they can start by advertising them in the game itself. Most players don't use the forums, after all.

What? Why would BMG advertise their forums outside of their games??
