Read some of our comments in that other thread regarding the first 2.

He is, most of the time.

[MuslimK]

Still?! I've only had it listed as other for like 3 days. Before that it said Shia.

Yeah, I just realized that

It is other because I still hate the guts of a few Sahabah which disqualifies me from the jamaat

Thats why we have twelver Shia forum to discuss

[Invoker]

Alsalam alaykum,

Please provide us with ideas on how to make the site and forums more popular.

Also, please remember to share article links on social media and other blogs and sites.

Barak Allah feekum.

If u wish to promote this site on the basis of Sunni/Shia debates only than it would take decades i guess.

I advice u introduce a chat room where queries can be answered instantly by senior members.

Off-topic discussion should be promoted as well.

I will pay for a year of IPB (software used by HCY & ShiaChat) if you guys would be willing to switch platforms

It's obvious that you hate Banu Umayah & this has nothing to do with the fact that they fought Rasulullah shallallahu alaihi wasallam, otherwise you will hate Aqil bin Abi Talib RA too because he also fought him and was on the side of people who tried to kill him shallallahu alaihi wasallam.

For you not hating Aqil is irrational, don't you think?

[Taha]

With all due respect, leave me alone.

I've discussed this with 4-5 different people on the forum and changed my opinion.

[Taha]

^ Check PM for an explanation.

[MuslimK]

Can we have a chat section on the forum?

We have now chat mod installed.

Right now testing it. Hope it works fine.

[Taha]

^ Sweet.

Now can you find a mod to make the forum mobile-friendly for us cell phone internet people?

[Furkan]

Lol Taha, that's too much.

Instead of doing that, you should add  mute and block option etc...

EDIT: Now I see the tools option.

[Hadrami]

[Khaled]

You can use Global "Chatroom" instead.

Just installed a mod. It automatically shows the mobile compatible theme (i.e. reseller) if it detects the visitor is using mobile device. So Enjoy!

Has rafidi terminator channel perhaps they can advertise this forum too?

Before discussing how to make TwelverShia.net more popular, it should first be discussed what the vision for the website is.  There are many directions that this community could go in, and they all have different implications.  Right now, I see perhaps 3 different options, although I am sure that others exist.


Vision 1 - TwelverShia.net should be a large and recognized "brand" in Sunni-Shia issues.  For this vision, TwelverShia.net would probably want to expand and diversify.  Perhaps, a YouTube channel should be established with lectures, propaganda videos, etc.  Likewise, there should be other diversifications into various other Social Media venues such as Facebook, Twitter, etc. 


Vision 2 - TwelverShia.net should be a segment of a larger project that is aimed at improving things for Muslims.  In this case, the same diversification should occur, but with a different purpose.  Perhaps some partnerships could be made with other groups such as a general purpose Islamic forum, or various lecturers that can give lectures on this topic.


Vision 3 - TwelverShia.net should remain much the same as it is, with a Web-Site full of articles and a forum with Sunni-Shia discussions.  With this vision, the key is advertising, advertising, advertising.  Advertise all over the place.  Have everybody tell their friends, their family, etc.  Create some fliers that can be handed out.


What do the creators of this website see as the vision for it?  Where do they want this community to be in 5 years?  What do they want to have accomplished?

What TS also could do is, giving geusts the ability to post once a comment on the forum. The next time they will have to register, if they want to post another comment ( for example backing up their previous comment).

How could this be enforced?  What stops a guest from posting many comments?  And I think that this would lead to a lot of spam and other inappropriate comments maybe.
