So you're Saying that you are gonna build a strong and growing community through invision and a free verision, i mean its an okay engine to make forums in, but i have a few tips to you, dont know if you'll take em on but, i have some experience as i've been working for a webdesign company, and made a few sites myself and is currently working on one, first off, you dont release antyhing before you got some decent graphics, i mean the first expression is everything, and what i saw when i went to that forum of yours it had some eye candy killing graphics, sure it might be just temporary graphics, but if so, dont uppload, you might be working on some other parts than grafics on the website, then i shall not whine about that. anyway, thats probably the first thing to think about, that you have around 15 seconds to catch the visiter's eye's or the'll probably leave the place.
