I'm really trying my best to get new users on to the forum, however, I am finding this VERY difficult.

I could do with some help pleeeeeeeeease. Those of you that have already registered if you happen to be members on other forums would you be so kind as to put a link in your signature back to us, hopefully this way others will join.

We're currently 4th on google uk for the search term "graphic design forum" which is pretty good and visitors are steadily increasing.

Many thanks

Damon

Ive linked to you guys from our business site. I like the forums but there are too many people asking to rate their business, tell them how good they are etc, rather than asking for tips, tools, inspiration etc. Maybe itll be worth starting the discussions in that way, steer the convos away from how good are you?

Thanks for the link, greatly appreciated

The rate my site/business requests are all in the correct categories, either here...

Graphic Design Critique

or here...

Website Design Critique

If you stay out of those 2 you'll not see any, thanks for the feedback though, all taken on board.

I think it would be great if there was a specific place on GDF where everyone could receive feedback and a rating of their designs in there portfolios. I'm sure that would be really beneficial for all. Some designers are more advanced/experienced than others so they perhaps don't rely on receiving advice/feedback of their designs. I think most designers on this forum are looking for feedback and advice on their portfolios to improve their designs.

Regards

so its not just me that thinks that then?

i know theres meant to be specific areas for rating work etc, but if we start some threads about new things, new coding methods, new design ideas, new techniques, tutorials etc, that would get more people here, rather than just a load of freelancers tryin to get work. (get off youir asses n get a job :D) bloomin graphics designers!

Im working on some tutorials for another project, I can possibly send some over, start some threads that would eventually get people here in the first place, update things enough ad people would stay?

Ive seen vb flash chatrooms knocking about, these could be useful to get more friendly chats going, set times, not sure what we could talk about but you know what i mean..

I like the idea of live chats. We could do live crits of our designs as well as chat about tutorials and design in general.
People could put the best design they've done that week on display and everyone could comment on it. I think that would be very valuable. You can already do that on GDF though so I don't know if a live chat room would make a difference. You can access a lot of tutorials on the net so I don't know if that would be so popular on a live chat room. Most people just put the links to the tutorials on the site. It's worth considering having a live chatroom though.

Regards
