At FreeForums.org, our responsibility goes beyond providing you with the very best in forum hosting. Making sure your forum is as active as possible is also in our job description. These are a few things we have done to help you build members:

1) New Register page – After extensive market research we found the default registration page to be a daunting sight to those unfamiliar with the forum signup process. In order to help speed up the registration process we removed some of the unneeded options and Profile Configuration settings. While this was actually done last month most forum owners have no reason to visit the register page and may not have even noticed!

2) Forum Toolbar - Your forum toolbar is perhaps one of the best ways to increase activity on your forum. When your members install the toolbar, they are constantly reminded of your forum when browsing the web. To install this toolbar go to yourforum.freeforums.org/toolbar.php (replace ‘yourforum’ with your domain name). You can configure it with other features via the “Toolbar” link in your admin panel.

3) Freedom – The numerous features we offer give you the freedom to create a forum just how you want it.

4) Brandable forum – FreeForums.org was the first forum host to popularize the non-branded forum by giving you the option to use an external domain (yourdomain.com) and remove the “Host by FreeForums.org” at the bottom. This lets you brand your own forum and lose the “free hosting” label.

5) Coming soon - Over the coming weeks we will be rolling out some new features and services that we’ve been working on since September. These services will provide more value to your members ensuring they spend more time on your forum!
