Negative. Stated in the rules, no accounts or posts will be deleted. If a member truly complains then I will change the name and depersonalize...
Definitely. I think every forum should have a private staff forum. It's much easier to have a forum rather than using the PM system or email for...
I don't think there is anything wrong with it. The initial start to a community can be tough and anything to get it going is OK. We've all...
I think requriing a minimum amount of time spent on the forum per week is a good start. If they want to be staff then they have to put in some...

It is a sad aspect of the world that there are so many plagiarists out there willing to steal your ideas. There is not much to do unless you want...
I agree with Carlos. It fairly nice but the design is not great and I found administration to be difficult. In the end I chose vbulletin over...
vbulletin is a professional forum script that's easy to admin and is very stable. I've yet to have any major issues with it. It costs, that is...
