how long has it been up for?
i think maybe it looks less active because you have so many topics. you should start of with only 12 at the most, then work your way up. but you have 100+ members so you could have more.
also pictures in the topic descriptions are really, really annoying.
but other than that it is alright 
it has been up since 17th May 2006. as for the pictures, i thought it would look more interactive!!! also, i am trying to remove some of the old topics, so that my forum looks a bit cleaner. 
hey there einstein... what do you say me and you give pointers to each other?
what do you mean, coreymanshack??? well, you can just PM me if you want to talk to me about anything. 
On any big forum there are always guests that refuse to register and are possibly just browsing. It's a natural thing. You could allow for guest posting, but also put up a forum to ridicule and set an example of spammers or something to ward them away.
The site in general looks very good. A clean and easy-to-read theme.
I would try to put a few words about the site and what it is at the top. I'm never sure what the site is about when I go there.
Also, what has been posted about guests is absolutely true. There are always going to be guests/lurkers at any forum. I don't necessarily recommend opening up the forum to guests, but maybe one specific forum for guests wouldn't be a bad idea...? Up to you.
So, maybe make it clear on the homepage what the site is, and you'll get a little better response. 
At the main pic, the one at the top, did u try to mean a HEAVEN for geeks? or is HAVEN a real word?
i speak spanish, and i've never seen that word b4 heh
ohh wtf, heh then what does it mean?
a shelter serving as a place of safety or sanctuary
it is not used in those terms though... it's used because it sounds cool and usually people mean it to talk about the general area... such as....
"the rock haven"
sounds better than
"the general area of the rock"
if you had areas where the regular users didn't have access to until they registered than they would register. You can also have downloadable content for the registered users.
there are already such areas, such as the VIP Lounge. also, i have already made a Guests Section, where guests can post...............but they never do!!! 
hey, i recommend this forum to all you others. i am one of the admins there, and the forum is very active. Currently, the statistics are as follows:
| Code: |
Our users have posted a total of 4681 articles
We have 135 registered users
The newest registered user is tech_mastermind |
I would say that there are many forums that are not visible to the public unless they register. Also, there is a Guest forum, where very few people post. I guess that's a good thing because it means that there is no problem with GeekWorld, and that people are able to navigate easily. Take a bright view of things, einstein.

well, i had become very, very busy, and had no time to look after GeekWorld. Now that i am back, i saw that there were more than 300 members on my forum, who didn't post anything. i deleted all those members who had below 2 posts. so now, we have only 68 members!!!
also, i am trying to convert it back to a technology forum. i don't mind even if i don't get many members, but i request those who DO join, to be active and post atleast 5 articles a week, so that i can keep up my forum.
thank you for your cooperation,
hoping to get some VERY ACTIVE members from here......

good luck
Your site has nice layout. Logo is very good. Name is good.
You have two different index-pages, which makes navigation a bit harder, like "how to get in main page using one button?" Site isn't valid in main page.
Validator result

well, the first page is NOT the index page, but it is the portal, or the place from where you can go to any place on the forum.
for the index page, the URL is : http://geekworld.17.forumer.com/index.php
also, the the errors in the validator result, are errors in the source code, which has been written by Forumer, and not by me. so i can't do anything about it!!! if anything you didn't like is in my power to rectify, i will do so.
anyway, thanks for taking an interest in my forum.
