I change it up a little bit so my sites don't end up looking identical. I usually stick with mostly white/black/grey and then choose a single...
It depends on the reason. If it's a long standing member who is going to be without internet or has found their life too hectic to keep up with,...
The contest start puts everyone on the same page. You're not going to try to catch up to huge totals that people already have since they've been...
Wow, you're going all out, aren't you? At first I thought your title meant that you were running a contest for 6 months and I was hopping in to...
I wouldn't do that. It would really frustrate me if someone else did that to me. Then again, I suppose that's the difference in seeing it strictly...
I definitely don't. While I might mention publicly on the boards that we could use some new things to talk about, I don't privately reach out. I...
Oh I definitely wouldn't run a contest while I was away. That's something I would want to be around for, monitoring it and answering questions,...
I prefer them shown. I do understand why sometimes owners prefer them turned off, but I just don't think those reasons are large enough to go...

Yep, I think they're definitely something to pay attention. I don't panic if there's a drop, but if there's a consistent decline instead of...
I haven't done it myself, but I've been part of this sort of merge before. Sometimes it's great and works out for everyone, with few people lost....
Oh god, some of those are so horrible. This is why some people shouldn't be allowed access to Photoshop at all. /facepalm
Yes, I allow it. It actually drives me absolutely insane when I can't edit them, so I prefer to keep the option open for members, too. It's rare...
It really depends on your site, the audience, how you're focusing, your keywords, etc. If your focused keywords aren't words that are being...
I'm not sure how that is "actually not really." What you listed is a successful way of promoting content....and shows that "lack of desperation" I...
I generally find it pretty easy. I sometimes struggle to come up with new threads if I feel like I've been replying mostly and need to start new...
Signature links have always been my greatest source. I don't mean just posting spam and hoping someone clicks either. I mean that by actively...
I'm not sure I can count. I suppose the main niches I've either modded or admined are "student, general, webmaster, blogging, sexuality, teens,...
In addition to all of the above... A lack of desperation. When a forum is struggling, you often see the admin asking people to post more or...
