    General
    Hello and thanks for checking out my thread. Im new to the forum business but from the comments i have been getting recently i feel im off to a good start. As you can see my forum is called "GFXMarket" which is a graphics forum obviously, the market section is where you can sell your services such as signatures you have made, backgrounds anything GFX related. GFX artist are always going to be needed so if you into graphics and looking to improve be sure to check out my site.

    Competitions
    Within the next week or so i plan to run a referral competition, this basically means the person with the most referrals will win a prize which will most likely be cash. I plan to run serveral more competitions later on but right no my focus is getting a active community going.

    Staff positions
    At this current time i do not need staff as im sure i can moderator a forum with 6 people. I plan to start recruiting members for my team when the community reaches around 200 members, this may change due to personal issues such as college, work anything that may stop me be from being unable to access the site daily. So keep an eye out for applications.

    Other
    This is my first forum so im taking things easy. Im doing as much as i can by myself and currently designing a good looking logo then i will be moving onto a custom MyBB theme. This will take time but im dedicated and willing to give it a shot before i start throwing cash around.


    Thanks for reading and feel free to give feedback, Also feel free to sign up.

    Congrats on your achievement but to let you know, you shouldnt bump every time when you get only a few members.

    Do you understand the term "constantly"... I bump once a day that's far from constantly.

    Congrats, but buying databases is not really good in the longrun if you dont by the domain either because the members wont be active.
