I know this is the wrong forum, but I'm unable to post on the rorta board. Well, since I have registered at this site, which was about 5 hours ago, I have seen probably 15 or 20 guests visit the board, but not one of them has registered. We need to concentrate on improving the content of the site if we are going to register and retain new members.
I can write some text files, but that is only a small part of what needs to be done. Traffic and post volume needs to increase. The quality of the posts needs to increase as well.

The Rorta News forum only Admins can create threads there, but this is the General Forum so you got the right forum.
Yes we are getting quite a few visitors to the site, but it all takes time to establish a large and frequent community.
We have only been online about a week, and building a mass of posts and users will take weeks. Then the forums will really start to take shape.
I had members joining the boards before i had even got the configurations and scripts sorted, also nothing is anywhere finished.
So Rorta is doing well considerinits early stages.
I"m still working on alot of things including the textfile section.

I think, not that it really matters, that you should turn off the guest setting. If they want to input or ask questions, they must register. It will boost the user count and make the site more popular. I also made a thread at Totse to up the traffic some more. Totse has thousands of users, but there are morons too. This site doesn't have the morons yet. Again, turn off the guest settings, forcing people to register. |

Most forums that I frequent don't allow guests to post, but seeing as this forum is so young, I think the guest should be allowed to post, for the time being.

I have left the ability for Guests to post for now to see how things go.
It just gives visitors to the site the ability to contribute by posting in threads. If they start posting, most likely they will want to register to start getting a Post Count, Avatars, Signatures etc and to reserve their username.
If this ability starts getting abused by guests, then we will just switch it off.

Hello. Somebody calling themselves "Stop" came by some other forums and eventually at least one came back hear to see wassup?
I registered without even thinking. I'm happy the pw came back so fast.
This problem you discuss is endemic. What you could try are closed sections or downloads that no one could see if they weren't registered.
Tempt them...

After reading most of the posts/topics here I found that every single one is pointless and moronic.
This forum site is a poor excuse for a copy cat totse.
The only thing that is different is you guys dont have any members.
If this site wasnt so damn ugly maybe your guests would stay around.
Its like inviting someone to stay at your trailor park and not even giving them a free beer. When there are millions of forum sites around you have to at least put up a good fight.
Stop complaining that your site sucks, and fix it.
Oh and hey UT, your looking foxy as hell. Even in that gay ass blue color. I think red suits you much better.

If you dislike the site so much, why go to the trouble of creating an account and registering?
Also why bother sitting on the site for over half an hour reading the threads here?
You know where the door is, don't let it hit your scrawny little ass on the way out.
Oh and i will save you the hastle of being a member here at Rorta.
Have a nice life tard.
