Forum up and running...

[corpfan1]

Hey everyone,

Still waiting for my vBseo license...but in the meantime...

I am proud to be the father of a brand new forum - The Big Fish Club Forum. Here is the link...

www.bigfishpokerclub.com/forums

I would absolute love opinions on the layout, colour scheme, fonts, etc...

Also, if you have the time to join and make some posts I would be highly appreciative.

I know building forum traffic can be very challenging and any help one can get is very useful. Although, I do know that a forum has to really sell itself...and I have many plans to drive traffic and get a rock-solid community going at Big Fish.

Also, if anyone has suggestions/ideas to build forum traffic, maybe you could post it here?

Thanks a bunch!

I would like to see you replace your showpost link with permalink (a vbseocp.php option; vBSEO Control Panel).

You should remove your forum name from your thread pages:
