My experiences and suggestions.

I joined ForumKorner as I found it on a Google search and it appeared highly attractive to me. When I joined, there were tonnes of friendly faces all to willing to help - I liked that. That's part of the reason why I have donated over $500 to this forum. This forum has HUGE potential. I have my own forum since 2012 and we are steadily growing and I'd love it if one day we reach these heights.
As I said, the forum has huge potential - but what can we do to turn this potential into something substantial? I see people offering suggestions all the time but no one seems to take notice.

Here are just some of my own:

• FK really needs a UK Moderator. Countless times you can see spam bots and CC dumps which aren't dealt with for hours on end. The team we have are great, but unless I am mistaken there is no one on at this particular time zone.
• Scam reports should be dealt with within 24 hours (or at least a reply from a Mod). I believe if a scam report is raised then that user should be placed in the TRADE WITH CAUTION usergroup until the report has been solved. This would then at least alert members what is going on and stop more scams.
• It would be nice to see if FK can tap into the gaming market a little more - e.g Twitch streaming and the like. This is a big market and can really help the forum blossom.
• There needs to be a rebrand of some of the paid usergroups. I donated for Power+ a few months ago as it seemed like a prestigious rank - now a tonne more people have it. Long time supporters of the forum should be rewarded - whether this be via Koins, competitions or something similar. Ideally, there should be a usergroup where you CANNOT pay to get into and you get into it on merit alone, however I don't see this happening as there are a few upgrades as it is.
• I get that this is a forum and hosting and SEO need to be paid for on a monthly basis - however offering paid upgrades every month or few weeks just devalues it a little more everytime. In order to raise the money, maybe FK should have a donation bar and everyone who donates over a specific amount e.g $20 would get a "Contributor" award or something. This way you get the money needed and don't piss off everyone else who paid a lot of money for their upgrades. It could also be changed everymonth to Koins etc.
• Please re-evaluate the transfer fee for awards. I understand it's $30? Awards these days are selling for around $20, the transfer fee should be around $15 for awards imo.
• This should be a priority - Sort out who is giving out awards. It's been a few months now and NO ONE has been doing this? Awards keep people interested in the forum, make people want to donate and be active, but if no one can find the time to give them out then people are eventually going to stop bothering to attain those awards in the first place surely? I understand you can't give them out yourself all the time due to time constraints but @Raptor could do this as he is now admin? It's not really a time consuming thing to do either.

A lot of these suggestions have probably already been suggested before. These are just some of the ones I could think of which would probably help the forum out in the long run. @Philly and his team do a great job, I just feel there are a few small things which could improve the efficiency of everything. Also congrats to @Raptor for becoming admin. Hopefully this will benefit the forum as we now have two dedicated Admins.

Please don't take anything I've said above as gospel, it's just my opinion - whether you choose to listen to it is your own agenda.

This is also my 1000th post, I've had a great time on this forum so far and hope it long continues.

Thank you. especially the scam report one and Power+

I completely agree with this.

These are all great suggestions.

Yeah, moreso the scam report one though in my opinion. Would help a lot.
