hey guys!
first i would first like to say that i have ran and controlled a proboards site before, and understand an admins viewpoint, and of course i have a members viewpoint as well. i have been an f1 fan since i was born ( this stuff is written in my "hello" thread, so its not needed here)
simple:
Things i like:
Things i don't like:
suggestions:
1. add more boards surrounding f1 you only have standing and discussion, however i can disagree with myself here, as at the moment there is a small community, and the forums are currently maintaining order there, so at its current state it is ok, but in the future when there are more members, it might be better to expand a bit.
2. create a category or board (up to the admin) called "media" where people can post threads with videos, or photos in them, here people will be able to see a a wider range of media,
Think of it like this: instead of just having a "photos thread" for people to post links to, why not have a whole board for people to post threads like "car photos" "crash videos" ect,. (these could be sticky threads that the staff make)
3. create a "feedback, and suggestions" board, for people to be able to do what im doing now, and help improve the site, and of course its community
I am guessing you have a "hidden" board or thread for the admins ? well those threads or boards are very useful to you, in that they help to maintain and control the site? well you could seriously improve the site by finding out what you need to do, and through a feedback board that can be done.
This is just an honest opinion, and a first impression of the site, if in the future i come to realise anything ill change this post or even add to it.
Most importantly:
great site, and look forward to being a part of it through the f1 seasons

Things i don't like:
