- Pick a unique name for your board, and try to brand it. Don’t just call it your message board or, even worse, your bulletin board. If you don’t want to buy another domain name, I also have a forwarding address for The Punters Lounge ( punterslounge.cjb.net/ ) which is a lot easier to remember and type.
Can anyone think of any good alternative names or words for forums/message boards/discussion boards/bulletin boards?
- Mention your board in every correspondance, put it in your signature.
This sort of thing has really boosted my forums traffic. When a “thank you” message is sent when someone uses my mailform, I have a “Please visit our forums” message. I’ve seen a lot of people sign up and start posting on the boards before I even get a chance to write them back!
