Business and Marketing forum

I run a few forums, but the one I'm most focussed upon at the moment is the business and marketing forum at Platinax:
http://www.platinax.co.uk/forum/index.php?

The aim to cater for small business online, so this includes bricks and mortar commerce and self-employment/limited company management issues, as well as key webmastering topic areas.

The forum is relatively young but growing steadily - the main Platinax site averages about 90,000 uniques per month, so the big challenge is to try and focus attention of surfers towards joining the forum for information.

Modifications as yet are extremely minor - I've simply added a small mod to prevent users with less than 5 posts from posting a live link, or using signatures or PM's - after 5 posts, everything is fine.

Waiting until after vB3.5 to see what direction I can take further modification, but overall I'm happy with a general forum base, and already have a directory and various blogs running on independent software platforms.

Anyway, feedback on the Platinax forums is more than welcome - and questions, feel free to ask. :)

Hey Brian

Love the style, very professional looking and business-like. Nice one, I signed up. You certainly know what you're doing there with vB et al. Great site.

Very nice design. I like that.

Thanks for the comments - to be honest, I like the colours here as well. There's something to be said for warm colours - very inviting.

Hello Brian. Nice forum with a lot of great information. I might just have to head over and sign up.

Edit: That was easy. I looks like I've already signed up somewhere along the way. :)

very clean and easy to use. I like it.
