[dotNAMES]

First of all: If i posted this request in the wrong directory, please forgive my mistake and move this message to the correct place. Thanks.

I am trying to devellop a forum focused on my passion: Art and Design.

As a non-english person, it is a hard work to devellop a forum free of mistakes. Actually i am building the categories tree and i was wondering if some designers, present of this forum, would be agree to help me.

the forum in question is : www.designbox.com .

I am actually working on the following categories:
-Prints
- Photography
- Traditional Arts
- Typography

I really need help and ideas to build this community. I wish it as much clear, usefull and informative as possible.

If peoples are also enough involved in this project and are interrested to become moderators please drop a mail to Clovis.

Thanks a million for any further helps, suggestions, ideas provided.

IMHO, you should get a custom VB skin made for your forums. I've seen the current one alot of times, and it's not good to use a skin that's pre-made because it's probably used on a lot of forums. Just as a suggestion, maybe you should add a contests/competitions topic in there. This is usually active in alot of forums, and is like alot by freelance designers.

Hey HF,
Thanks for your comments.
I like the idea of a contest, don't i need a little bit more members than 1?

Anyway, i have to familiarize a bit more with vBulletin template system to devellop a full customized one. I have a lot of ideas but actually i rather would like a working board than a buggy one...

At last, i still need help to devellop the subforum categories tree. See what is relevant from what is not.

Hey peoples, i still need help there :D

By the way, all designers are also welcome to register
I wasn't guessing it was so difficult to build a community forum...

Thumb up RJ for what you've done here.

Yes of course, how can it be called a contest with only one person participating ?

I would register, but I won't have the time to contribute to your forums much due to school. I've been busy with alot of school work, and with 9 people in my family I do have limited time on the computer. I'm getting my own computer within 3 months though, so I will be able to join your forums.
