Place to show of your archery site, or other archery forum

Hi,

Would it be an idee to make a group where you can post links to other websites and other forums. This way users can show off there websites and receive comments to possible improve their sites.

Aha,

Marcus i was thinking of making a new group, not a new thread. A group is one level higher and can only be made by the administrator. All webmasters can then make new treads (one thread pro site/ forum etc.)

See for an example: http://www.yabbforum.com/community/. Look under "Conversational" and then "YaBB Showcase".

"YaBB Showcase" could be renamed to "Archery site and Forum Showcase".

Greetzs,
M

Yeah I knew what you meant, however I'ld rather not put too many things on the front as it becomes a chore to move through them. I doubt we will get enough interest to cover a whole group. It's a good idea, however I would rather just keep it in a thread for now. Should it become popular then I will consider enhancing it.

I liked your site BTW. Nice design and good content. The Archery e Cards are great, are they used often?
Do you use flat HTML with cgi only on the site? ANy scripting? Hard to understand much of it unfortunatly though.

I get your point. At this time we will stick to a tread. If in the future this becomes really big then we might consider making it a front item.

However to become a big tread it must not move away. SO could you make it a sticky one?

Many thanks for your comments on our site. The E-cards are nice and not many sites have this function. I know only two sites including our own. Circa 25 users a month make use of the E-cards. The whole site gets circa 30 visitors a day. Its quite nice.

The site is made in Dreamweaver, with some Java, no CSS and no Flash. It does however contain some PERL en CGI scripting. The Forum, Chat, club-calendar and counter of actuale visitors on the whole site are done this way.

The site has a total content of about 130 mb. We have a own server on a fast internet acces point. So no data limits, or traffic limits.

Ineteresting stuff. We are also on our own dedicated server with high speed connection (plugged directly into a 150Gb backbone). No CGI is used, prefer to stick with server side options such as Lasso and PHP with heavy database use. I was looking at the YABB boards before this one, but went down this road instead.
We get 250,000 page requests a month on this board, while the DVA site gets around 500 visits to the front page a month.

How many people are involved in your site and what does it cover? Hard to fully tell from here due to language barrier.

I love the YaBB possibilities, also the YaBB community is very helpfull. This makes starting much eachier. The YaBB en phpBB are looking quite te same and are simular in use.

Can we borrow a couple of your visitors ??? :P

The site was started with a group of ten persons, 3 did the work, and at this moment i'm the only one to actualy add and update the site (it's a shame that all 9 others don't help any more, but thats live :cry: ).

Our archery club has more than 150 members, we are one of the biggest archery clubs in the Netherlands. Our club is founded in 1848, which makes it also one of the oldest.

Our site aims at different usergroups.
1: newbies at archery, for them we have all kind of info about our club, who we are and what we do. Also we give basic info about archery.
2: archers, for them we have a downloadsection with tuning, software, videos, clipart, chat, forum etc. etc.
3: clubmembers: this section is behind a password and covers new members, email adresses of members, newsletters, digital club calendar etc.
