I agree to a certain extent, It will die eventually but sometimes forums can run on there own.
Trolls are equally as annoying. I had someone spam his way through 250 posts once JUST to get the word VIP above his username :/ Only about 10...
Site name: Headbangers Haven Site URL: http://www.headbangershaven.com Site description: Music Forum for fans of Rock/Heavy Metal/Punk as well...
I used to use google, but for some reason it messed up my forum. Now I use the one provided by my host - Hostmonster.com
I wanted to find people into the same music as me orginally, because I knew no-one into metal. Then its grown into a community and I love running it.
Indeed I do :D Has been a struggle to keep it up, but now it's better than ever.
Who? Invision released Zetaboards, people just migrated to that. I hated Zetaboards.
I am on a paid host called Host Monster www.hostmonster.com
I have always loved SMF and Invisionfree. Had to move away from Invisionfree though as it was no longer updated.
I would say it is optional not essential. A portal is quite handy if used correctly. I need to revamp mine.
I have been foruming since 2002. Started Headbangers Haven in 2003.
I have 500 members, I have 2 admins and 2 mods. Is more than enough for my forum. It all depends on the forum though.
Dark.. Light ones are ok, but mostly hurt my eyes.
