Checked your site out and didn't like the design op. Should have focused more on the design since it basically gives the first impression of your site. Also, the name of the site sounds more like a gambling site when compared to a forum.
Forums like Stake forum, Primedice forum etc usually pay per post based on rankings etc in order to attract attention.
Your site doesn't provide any of these perks and there is very little content currently which is why I don't think your site will attract a lot of traffic in the short-term and long-term op.
Thank you for your opinion, we are focusing on the necessary modifications to achieve a better design.
The aforementioned idea about offering rewards for actions has caught our attention, we would love to take it into account soon.
Also, the name of the site sounds more like a gambling site when compared to a forum.
I agree, perhaps, @op, the owners should revise the name of your website/project as is could really mislead someone. Honestly I thought this thread is another gambling site if I will just read the first words of the thread title.
A lot of room for improvement.
A good idea to create another gambling forum IMO.
We are sorry but we are not planning to create a gambling site or a casino. We believe that the name is more general than focused on betting, it is possible that BetGames for example can unquestionably express what you mention, but satoshigames could also refer to Blockchain Games for Android and IOS, it is our perspective although we are a forum, it is a new and novel way to discuss Bitcoin gaming today.
As for the colors of the design, could you recommend one that you think is convenient? We will also add a Live Chat to encourage more users, stay close and be attentive. Thanks. Greetings
I would say personally, my criteria are harmonious and gentle colors, don't choose colors that are too strong, it can be dazzling, purple is a bad example. I am not going to post pictures of my favorite theme, because I think you will need your own ideas. the frames shouldn't be too sturdy either, it should have smooth spots, I mean you can do a bit of beveling if you want. In general, proper color and layout are the two most important things.
Also, online chat is fine, but it should be public for more people, private chat can be a means of fraud
Thank you for your opinion on the design, we have taken it into account and modified the colors, tell us what you think now? however we are testing new styles and a layout for the larger forum, although the plugins can be quite complementary.
Regarding the chat, it has already been added and it is not available privately, simply only for registered users, but if there is the possibility of sending DM, however we do not believe that it is something we should worry about in the future.
I thought it's a gambling site but turned out to be a forum. OP can change the URL into "forum.url.com" or something along that lines.
Seems that the forum layout was designed by scratch that's why it doesn't seem the same as how the forum looks like. I suggest OP to consider purchasing a forum server host or builder so that only a small tweak is needed. A forum doesn't rely on the design as much simple and minimalistic, the better, but how the sections and pages are organized.
@goinmerry That possibility was possible if we had in mind to create a landing page or a presentation but for now we only want a forum. Regarding the server and forum system, we have acquired a server with sufficient resources to run the next generation forum system (Discourse) which is the one we use and will continue to use. We are not interested in acquiring a Xenforo or IPBF license since discourse is free and running it costs us the same as maintaining a license of the aforementioned and they are systems that are updated every 10 years even if they have more accessories. Thanks for your opinion.
