Description: Back in 2009, I had a general chat community called Marie 1988, a place where all were welcome to speak their minds and have a good time. I am here to tell you that I have revived this forum somewhat, and we are back! We are hosted on ProphpBB's free plan. Marie 1988 was founded on January 3, 2013, and much like in 2009, we have kept our same niche and are doing awesome, having just celebrated our 3rd month anniversary a week ago and having just reached the 1000th post mark a couple days ago! So come on back to a friendly general chat community where you are free to speak your mind and have a good time. All are welcome to join and participate in discussions!

Nice! I like the logo, although it is a bit large for my taste. What does the name mean?

Exciting news! Marie 1988 is currently undergoing a total revamp! We have changed the forum names and we are currently in the process of having a theme modified for us! Check out http://marie1988.com today!
 
Have you ever considered changing the forum name itself from Marie 1988 to something that represents a discussion based forum? That could be partly why your activity hasn't changed much compared to your last post in 2013.

2013:  Status Update: Total posts 1790 • Total topics 208 • Total members 45

Difference between 2013 and now: Total posts: 1525 - Total topics 237 - Total members 66

Now 2013 was two years ago. You're either doing something wrong, or there is something missing on your forum. In this case what I reckon is the name needs to be changed.

I am not trying to insult you or anything but give constructive feedback so I hope you take it as constructive feedback.

I couldn't agree more, you should definitely consider a more appealing and 'better' name to be honest. Also I'm not a big fan of the new theme at Marie1988. It's not a pleasant blue, and it's rather dull, doesn't appeal much at all.

We have been doing well for two years now. I am not now, nor am I ever, changing the name. We are in the process of a full revamp as we speak. But a name change will not happen.

I am not now, nor am I ever, changing the name. We've been doing good for two years. If you guys don't like it, you don't have to join.

I haven't decided yet. So far you have the options of the new SkyBlue edited theme, and the original Marie Retro theme to choose from. I'd like to see how well modifications with this theme goes first before I decide to add anymore options or not.

And for those of you saying we need a catchier name, I'm sorry but I'm going to have to disagree with you. I've gotten a lot of positive feedback on the uniquness of the name, and as I have a bad reputation of opening and closing forums, I'm not starting that now. The name stays and if you don't like it, you don't have to join. That's all I'm saying. Case closed.
