redbullmarky Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 i hate to sound like an arse, but unless you provide a test account, i cannot see anything that would entice me to join when sites like myspace do the job well enough already.there are no images, no evidence of existing members, and no...well nothing really. everything just seems to try and force me to either register or login, which (due to me being an awkward sod) I won't do out of principle. I generally like to get a feel for a place and enjoy a place BEFORE i've even logged in.nothing's really terrible, just a little bland as they are.what's your selling point? what makes you different to all the trillions of social networking sites out there already? why should the average joe join your site? etc etccheersMark Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/26492-popboard-social-network/#findComment-121175 Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewart715 Posted November 7, 2006 Author Share Posted November 7, 2006 Good point. The site was just launched today actually. There are only a few users, who are my friends, who were testing the site before the launch.

redbullmarky Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 after logging in, it looks a little more interesting than first entering the site. there's still a lack of much in terms of visuals - images/pictures, general styling, etc.obviously you've put a fair bit of work in to the site as a whole, so kudos for that, but my points i originally made still stand. you need to try and stand out from other SN sites if you can. think about "why would someone join me to chat to a few people, whereas they can join myspace and chat to millions?". i'm sure you get my point. it needs something to make it stand out on its own. whilst i dont personally like social networking sites (i use myspace, but for music, etc) i still appreciate myspace for what it is and how popular it is. you need something that's either unique or special to entice people to you instead of them, rather than almost trying to duplicate one of the most popular sites on the web with less features, less style, etc. first impressions don't immediately tell me what the special thing might be that would make people think you not myspace.like i say, it's not bad. try and look for something that'd make it stand out, use a little more images to liven its appearance up a little bit and you'll have something that at least justifies the features and effort you've put in.cheersMark Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/26492-popboard-social-network/#findComment-121199 Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviewdr Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 It looks ok. There is a blemish on the corners of the Nav tabs on a:hover.Looks like a clean interface. There is a lot of stuff in it.I dont have time atm to go into it in depth.It would be nice to have this as an open source application.-steve Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/26492-popboard-social-network/#findComment-121204 Share on other sites More sharing options...

448191 Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 I think it's not that bad, even though I'm oblivious to it's usefulness.I don't even mind that it's build on Drupal. A lot.
