Back this summer I made this forum called Movies and Celebs. I ended up deleting it in august because it didn't work out well. Then I felt sorry and made The Movie Roll to make up for it. Then I found out boards could be restored, and had the old one restored. Now I'm thinking of completely re-vamping it after I'm done with WITO. But I would like a bit of ideas from you guys first. Friendly advice, nothing official. The sub-boards will be deleted, and most of the boards will be gone. I'm not sure what to make it into: an rpg, a creative fan site? I would really like some friendly advice before putting the place back on wheels moviesandcelebs.proboards99.com I hope the thread isn't inapropriate. If so I apologize

I am not sure if an RPG forum would be successful - there are already an awful lot of those around, and many of those are slow because after the first attack of enthusiasm, members often stop playing after a while, and then you have a dead board on your hands.
I rather like the movies and celebs topic. Perhaps you could change it around a little. For example, instead of making 13 boards for movies - each one for a different movie, make several movie sub-boards that are put into genre categories. After all, there is only so much a person can say about one movie and not everybody likes talking about the same films. This way, the boards will be in categories (horror / sci-fi / western, etc).
Same goes for the actors and actresses. Don't make a board for different actors but make just one board for actors and one for actors, and add different threads, like a birthday thread, in which you can add each day a celeb whose birthday it is (I do this sometimes on my forum).
I would also get rid of the RPG, Graphics, and music boards. Make it a pure movie and celeb forum.
Anyway, those are just a few suggestions I would have if you would consider reviving this forum. Love the colours, btw. ;D

Thank you for the suggestions Valderra I honestly don't know what was I thinking when I made so many sub-boards for different movies and different actors and all. I like your idea, so I'll get into it. I'm happy you like the colors, that was our August Skin (forum policy was: new skin each month). Unfortunately I had to replace the menu buttons with text because I deleted the home one. I'll have to redo everything. I will keep the black and red though ;D Hm, just thought of this while typing: I could make a "news" forum for movies and celebs, and created threads with all the news that are on the internet and people could discuss them. Wonder if it would work out..

Wonder if it would work out.. That sounds like a good idea, a board in which you add news, either taken from TV, newspaper or magazine, and add threads to links with news that are displayed online as well.

Wonder if it would work out.. First, I think your forum has a nice colour scheme even though the theme is not my thing. Secondly, I've warned you about the spelling of the word COLOUR! I let American members get away with it, but not European, Asian, Canadian, African and Australian members!

Thanks, but I spell it like that because I'm tired of this stupid spell checker in Firefox underlining it. It do spell it colour more often than color. The colour scheme will stay for sure, I'll just change the banner and of/iccon and make new menus as well. @ Valderra, glad you think it's a nice idea. I'll link to news from sites as contactmusic or yahoo movie, imdb, (so not to infringe the copyright) and the threads will be for people to discuss the news and everything. I think it might work out I'll let everyone know when the grand-reopening takes place (I just dread the amount of coding and graphics design I'll have to do this half term break)
