As a newcomer who wants to help boost activity, it might be worth making a few simple changes. 1. This is minor but I keep noticing it when I log on and it bugs me, haha. Changing the title of the forum to actually read 'Livestock and Herding Association' instead of just 'Forum' (pretty sure you can change this under Admin > Settings, it's been a while, haha) 2. This is the main suggestion: Make the forum viewable to guests. It really deters people when they can't see boards or what to expect. I didn't join for a while because I couldn't see what I was joining. You can make it impossible for guests to post on boards, pretty sure (I haven't edited a Proboards site in ages but I think it is possible) and/or you can have account activation by admin be required. 3. This isn't an important change but it might be nice to change the staff member names to red (admin), blue (gmod) and green (mod) just so people, at a glance, can see if a staff member has been online in the last 24 hours. You'd be surprised how much staff being online motivates people to come online, heh. I mean, I know staff do come on but it's just easier to see it quickly and people might be like, 'Oh the admin logged on today, that's good' That might encourage people to join because they can see what the forum is actually about, how the trials look, if it appeals to them
