ForumRankings.net Feedback topic
Couple people want to leave feedback for the site but couldn't since it is in a board that doesn't have reply permissions.
So here is a topic for you.

I have just added my site today to support this initiative.

Here are a couple of suggestions:

- A page to explain the way how the rank is calculated
- A bigger thumbnail/preview of the site
- New field with site type: Personal, Commercial (ads), Non-Commercial, Store, etc
- A field for features of the site (could be or not pre-defined) like Facebook/Twitter integration, Gallery, etc
- Monthly and/or Weekly Ranks to distinguished those sites that are more active
- Date for Site creation
- Number of Topics (not only Posts)
- Some stats like Post per Day, Topics per day, Registrations per day (total and last month)
- Rating on known sites like Alexa
- Some of the last suggestions (like number of topics and activity on last month could enter to calculate the rating too)

I also see a check box for "Sell Adspace?" but I don't see for what it serves.

These are my suggestions for now.

Cool ideas I will implement a lot of them. As see people use the site. I want it to be like the new big boards. We support most of the forum software.
Hard part is just getting people to use I think it is neat.


You can see the topics/information buy clicking on your forum title in one of the listing page example http://www.forumrankings.net/forums/forum30

I do plan on having more charts/information as it goes on. I am keeping a log of daily changes on topics/posts/members

[Jonas1975]

Ok, I see that topics are there too.

What is the check box "Sell Adspace?" for?

[SMFHacks]

Eventually a way to list that you are open to advertisers. Or people can buy ads on your site/contact.

Sounds great!

Have added larger thubmanils/previews of the sites.
Did a lot of behind scenes stuff hopefully will allow me to get more and more forums added quickly

[Jonas1975]

Just a thought but do you think it makes sense to consider gallery comments as posts and photos as topics? My site is mainly a gallery so it has about +3K posts and +8K comments on the gallery. Ranking it only by the posts doesn't really match his activity.

Btw, the site is really starting to grow. The number of forums present is increasing fast. 

[SMFHacks]

I think they should count or at least be an extra stat
Have a lot more forums now to gain stats and soon will start to use that data for charts/graphs

If gallery comments count as posts, they should also appear in the list of comments made by that member in profile view.

I forgot about that setting. Yeah do have a setting in SMF Gallery Pro which you can count comment posts as forum posts. Which means then your gallery comments are already included in your forum stats.

I don't think they are. They count for the number of posts of a member but I don't see it increasing the total post of the forum.
