₦airaland Forum

Hello Nairalanders, I created a discussion forum and am finding it very difficult to get active members and quality post... Please I need advice and tips to make me grow... Am also looking for moderators... Thank you all.
Site name- divvy forum
Link- www.divvyng.com
Slogan- a world for exchanging knowledge

Wow how were you able to design that?

I spent sometime on your blog and I must commend you on what you have there. Thus, I have the following
advice for you. First, you need to start with a smaller niche and expand as your forum grows. You cant be all-round
like nairaland and expect rapid growth. Secondly, you need to build contents on your forum first so that people will
have reasons to stay... Create as much dummy accounts as you can (with your friends) and continue creating threads
and replying at least for the next 6 months.... Finally... invest in social media traffic especially facebook ads after you
have built your forum content wise and watch the magic happen...

By the way, how much will you take to put up a structure like this( with some variations) for me?

divvy, thats a great platform you have there.

For your question, your best odd is paid advertisement.

However, I noticed a few things as I followed your link to your forum:

1. The link you provided took me to a page where only an image (no texts) exists and clicking it took me to the main forum. I think it should be better to give the direct link. (I used chi-chi mobile phone though.)

2. The "Recent Posts" block should be designed in a way that each post and its details should be wrapped in a link to the thread itself than having to find the post title before one can navigate to the thread.

3. The forum software you're using was last updated in 2011. (I may be wrong though). Therefore am thinking if that won't pose a security threat to your site.

Finally, your site is very responsive even in the strong headed Opera Mini.

Good Luck and best wishes.

Why should I visit your forum with less activity instead of Nairaland where all the action is?

Can you remove this page.......a biggie turn off


All the best man!

Yes I did and I mentioned the browser and phone type.

State your phone and browser type. Thats the better way to review and it will help the OP better.

I agree with the guy, the site isn't responsive on mobile ( I use android, chrome browser)

Ive seen a lot of sites like that, that are still doing well though
