Hello,
I have been thinking would you consider taking on any developers here? I am a professional graphic designer, that is my day time job, forums are just a hobby of mine, I also game.
I have been involved with forum communities since 2008, I owned a website (TNS) back in 2012 that had 30,000 members and nearly 750,000 posts. It was an extremely active website. I also have experience in Website Administration (servers).
I am constantly looking around for new forums, looking to find somewere good to stick around and I seen this site has great potential. So wouldnt you love this site to be took to the next level?
I have been around gaming forums for way to long, iv seen many fail, many succeed. I was on NGU when they had only 90,000 members, they have 2.2million+ now, Se7 i was there from 40,000 they have 1.5+ million, TTG I was there at about 150,000 they have over 2.5 million and 25 million posts. I also used to moderate TTG back in 2010/2011 the Xbox sections.
You may just read this and go ahh fuck him he is crazy, that is fine, just thought I would ask because this looks like a pretty good site with a good base to move on.
So here is what i propose:
1) I would love to help you develop the site, work on SEO, re design your whole site (if you would like).
2) Invest money with you in forum promotion, getting the word out there massively. Get the shoutbox active as I seen your sad face on the suggestion that the shoutbox isnt active.
3) Help you maintain the website.
4) Or would you be pre-paired to sell half ownership of the website?
Thanks,
Adam
To add to this i currently have a customised Xenforo theme, and alot of paid modifications and also a couple custom modifications i made myself. Could use them all.
