how to improve the site???

Ok I really haven't been on much... I started college full time straight for the next two years and even summer classes... And I'm pregnant and sick on and off all day and Shanes working alot so he's really busy... And I see the site is not doing good I don't know why... But what do you guys think will improve the site and be serious about it... I'll try to help the best I can... We just have alot going on right know in are lives... Thanks guys! Hope to hear from yall...

you already heard my idea lol

but really, need to just get the word out, tell people on other sites, facebook, local riding places. word of mouth will be the best way to tell people about this site.
maybe get a new path of shirt made, have them pre sold to get the money up front and people can wear then when they go riding or just out and about. just make a cool looking shirt.

also get some more technical post on here. like good how to's

and just have normal post on here and keep active.

Ya sounds good i dont have facebook or myspace this is the only site im a member on...lol Ill start thinking of things todo... Good ideas Nick and thank you!

on facebook there is a page and a group
the page - https://www.facebook.com/pages/Dirtparadisecom/190478954324406
the group - https://www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=group_180120088700729

i don't have a facebook either, i try to recruit people, not much luck so far tho

We should start transforming this forum into something like 4chan /b/

what the heck is 4chan?

just ignore the retard, that site is for losers.

Here we go. Motto, don't start posting useless crap like you did on BF or you will not be here long.

I'm new here and don't wanna come off as a jerk so don't be offended.

I think the site needs cleaned up. The theme in my opinion is very... clustered.

what is clustered about it?

The banner is pretty big and the chat is large, which makes for a large scroll to get to the posts. Also, it is hard to find where your posts are. I like when it says Last post by XXX in XXX at X:XX.

For example:
Last Post by xKroniK13x in how to improve the site??? at 5:37PM.

click on potral, it is a scrolling ledger with all the recently updated threads.

also if you are trying to find all your post, just click on your name, and statistics, and then Find all xKroniK13x topics.

Thanks Kronik... Anythings helpful. I see were your coming from...

Sounds good. Chat boxes can be tricky, if you guys want I can take a look. I've made a lot of forums.

If you guys need anything, let me know. I'm always open to help a fellow community.

yeah i will start working on making the header smaller. let me know what ideas you got thanks kronik

I don't know what files you can edit on these free forum boards... you have to edit it in the actual file.

yeah ill have to mess with stuff on html file boards... u cant do it without doing that.

dakotademon's doing a good job cracking down on some of the foolishness by certain members. Eliminating all that monkey business will give the site a chance. Reducing it is at least a step in the right direction.

I take that back, simple fix.

Open index.php

Find:

Code:

<iframe width=810 height=290 src=http://www.dirtparadise.com/chatbox/chatbox.forum? frameborder=0 scrolling=no></iframe>

Change width= and height= to whatever you want. I was pleased to see it is running on an iframe, this makes it much easier to size to your likings. I always embed chatboxes with iframes. Can't go wrong.
