Did someone steal my idea? I was planning to do exactly that and build a website that displays combined posts and threads from all major Muslim forums.
If it pulls content from existing forums, then it is a good idea. Will not be suitable as a new independent forum.
It looks almost exactly like Ummah Forum to me, perhaps with a touch of IB. Is it meant to be UF and IB combined? Bringing the feuding members together ?
We'll see how it goes inshaAllah, the only forum I'm active on is IB, ma'sha'Allah love the warm atmosphere here which I am yet to see (or feel ) on any other forum, Islamic or not.

Oh turner of the Hearts make my heart firm on Your Deen
Pain and hardships allow you to grow spiritually Alhamdulilah so smile when a so called calamity befalls upon you.
Alhamdulilah Allah swt is the greatest.

Why would I goto this new forum when I already know both of them?
And before you come back with "new people can find this forum" they can't - whenever anyone searches for islamic forums - this and ummah come up first, and the new one will be on like - page 9 in search engines. Unless someone wants to pay google for adwords - which is a waste of money just to get people to join a new forum when these two already well established ones come up trumps in searches and are way more populated with members...
...Didn't the forum owner consider these things?
Why do I have to explain myself? can't you think for yourself?
If the forum owner wanted to pool all topics into one forum, maybe he should approach the owners of both forums and consider a merge?
Or how about a simple blog where the best topics are listed instead?
Forum is for discsussion - when people join the new forum, they are not joining the other two already established ones - so when they make a post in the new forum - replying to a member from another forum, guess what? it's like winking at a girl in the dark - you know what you are doing but the message is not getting through lol
Well the forum is still new,
@sci
mi. I suppose with time itl get popular and feature upfront in search engines.
It looks like the new forum owner wanted his own forum so wouldnt be interested in merging, lol, but Im confused as to why it does look like both of the old forums so there could possibly be a reason for that??
It would be nice if they outlined the goals and objectives of that forum so we know with what vision it was created in the first place.
