Forum Designs Simplified

It’s all about the content. Not only for blogs, but for forums too. I was reading 10 Clean Forum Designs and noticed forum theme designs are becoming more simplified. No more real need to see who’s online or how many users are online at the moment.

This is good because many designers are starting to think and question what information is more relevant to the user. Sure, seeing 1,000 members online as an owner gets you off, but it’s worthless to the active user of the forum.

Even in the Low Yat forums, I have only bothered looking at the who’s online portion once in my entire membership. That was because I was bored even.

So if you’re a community forum owner, you might want to reconsider what information is important to your members – not you. :)
