Enigma Computer Community - Feedback and Members Needed

​

The Enigma Community has been my personal project for a while to build a unique technology-centered forum, separated from the rest. I saw a lot of tech forums out there that were huge, full of spam, bad language, contained NSFW content, and were quite slow sites to boot.​

Well, we're here to change all that with ECC. We've been around for over 7 months, and we're now running IP.Board!​

Join today and start discussing, receiving help, and participating in a wonderfully unique community!​

Feedback is appreciated, and new members are always welcomed warmly ​

Ad Spots Available​

Link Exchange​

 

Looks like a nice forum, but to be honest it's a little too plain. Maybe a custom logo could help, other then that its very well organized

 

Thanks. Well I don't know about a logo, I think the current CSS-styled text we have really fits in with the theme. I was never very good at make logos either

This one does the job, loads fast, and looks nice. I may add a symbol or icon in there to distinguish it a bit.

Any other thoughts or suggestions?

 

Hmm maybe you can remove the project wonderful ad? To be honest I dont know if it's just me but it messes up the whole look of the forum, if you remove that it may look better.

 

Our time with Project Wonderful is ending soon, our sponsor is looking into getting our AdSense ban appealed.
Since it hasn't been generating enough revenue ($1.73 total) in the month or so it's been in place, I'm going to remove it. Thanks for the suggestion.

 

We managed to get AdSense again, unfortunately it only lasted for a short while

I'm thinking I should just start selling my own ads on ECC, since we are a PR3 I might get a good amount of money for them.

Anyway, we're still happy when new members arrive and post, even if it's just to say hi or reply to a thread that sparked your interest, we'd love to see you!

 

Still offering link exchanges and now offering ad spots! http://admin-talk.com/threads/selling-ads.3479/

 

Rarely seen this kind of forum already!

 

Thanks Feel free to join!

 

Changed our name, moved from MyBB to IP.Board, and we're almost to the 6,000 posts mark! Join today and help us reach it!

We plan on changing the theme as soon as more come out for the IP.Board 3.2 series

 

I like it, the skin has it all...
- simple
- professional

I hate the software and what puts me off, I prefer a forum too be phpBB, MyBB, Xenforo and vBulletin; good luck in the future.

 

Why do you hate IP.Board? vBulletin is the most horrible paid forum software out there today, and many agree.

 

Changed the domain to http://enigmacommunity.org
Also added several new sections, changed theme, and we're currently holding a contest for Google+ invites

Come join today!

 

Still holding that contest for Google+ invites, and we're now 47 posts away from 7,000 posts Come join today! We plan to hold a contest for Google Music invites soon.

 

We've got about 7,300 posts now! Also, we're holding a contest for Google Music invites, you definitely want to get in on that! To find out more, read this thread: http://enigmacommunity.org/topic/954-google-music-invite-contest/

We are also looking for new members who are passionate about what they do and can help us by creating articles in our new blogging system!

Also, we have sections for web design and site promotion, you may want to check those out as well. See you there!

 

Nice setup on the forum.
I'd suggest custom forum icons and remove that annoying tab on the right that overlaps your forum.

 

I have custom forum icons now, thanks
Also, what's your resolution? That social buttons tab shouldn't be overlapping anything...

 

nice work on the icons, they look very nice

if you make the screen a little smaller the tab will overlap
I'm just not a fan of those tabs at all or anything that's has a static placement like that or the toolbars some people put on their sites.

 

Thanks Iconspedia ftw!

And yes, I know about that issue. A lot of people don't have such small resolutions or window sizes though, or so I assume.
And I'm with you there about the toolbars, but the sidebars like that I'm ok with.
