Feedback for boards.zone


Posts: 568

I am thinking of putting more effort into BZ. A big mistake I realized we made was that it cannot be indexed by Google or other search engines since when you look at the source of the pages, none of the content appears. I think if I make the site indexable for search engines, I can begin to get traffic.

Before I do that though, I want to ask you guys who have used the software what your thoughts on it are? I assume the key reason it does not currently get traffic is due to the lack of currently existing traffic. Do you guys have ideas on how to address that? Maybe other marketing ideas? Are there any key things that make you dislike the site?

Admin sucks 2/10, it looks like a website relic from the mid 90s

wym none of the content appears in the source?

the software is cool, main strength in it compared to something like phpbb is the ui. don't know how you would get traffic even with seo if there's not a clear reason for people to go and interact

Tryp I think you are using inspect element to get a the HTML, but if you view source it's all empty

In theory, the intent is for people who already lead some sort of community and who want to create their own board at no cost would use the software.

Just like Reddit is made up of subreddits, same with 4chan how its made up of different boards 

The Google keyword I assume will be successful is "free forum software" or perhaps "free forum software with hosting".

 

I'm glad you think it's cool tryp :)

I think you are right that it could advance a lot of Github but my brother and I have spent 10 years of our lives on it. I think it has a lot of value if I play my cards well. Opening it on GitHub would not really earn any money

I have a software that represents perhaps $100,000 worth of web developer time in work. I can't just give that away

There's not even any people on there too, and her subsections have a tendency to disappear whenever she feels like it.
