I would love to see this forum grow!! To that end, I am going to be making some changes to it.
1) I plan on "rebranding" this forum. However, none of the names that I come up with are very exciting. For example: "International Comic Book Forum" or "Global Comic Book Forum". To me, they are accurate, but bland. If anyone can come up with a better name, I'd love to hear it. Or, if you prefer one of the above two examples, let me know which one.
2) I plan on doing a giveaway to spur a membership drive. I'm not sure exactly how that will work yet. My own collection is very eclectic and I'm not sure which comic or comics to put up. Also, I want to make it a realistic goal over a realistic timeframe. So I need to do more brain storming on this idea before I make it official.
3) I'd LOVE to have sections that are not in English. However, I am only fluent in English. I feel that if I create a section using Google translate, that it will actually be insulting or confusing to people who speak that language. So I need help on this one. If you, or anyone you know, would be willing to help out, let me know.
4) I plan on doing some sort of advertising drive once the top two are figured out. This may be all done by myself or I may do another giveaway to get people to share the site.
5) I would like to see this site network with other sites. Whether they be blogs, websites, Facebook groups, or whatever, I'd like to have links and work with them to promote both sites.
These changes are what you can expect in the coming weeks. I take the growth of this forum as a personal challenge. I know from experience to not expect great changes in a short amount of time. I'm in it for the long haul. If you are interested in being a part of this journey, I'd ask you to sign up as a member if you are not one already. And I ask all members to be vocal. Let me know what you want from this forum. I'm doing this strictly from my love of comic books in general and my interest in international comic books in particular. If any of this intrigues you, please join me on this journey!!
One last thought. If you don't want to see forum renamed, let me know!!! I'm not against leaving it as is, I'm just trying to think of ways to get more attention and draw in more members.
