Forgive the crude title but how else can I describe it? :o I am going to admit it..I am a verified stats whore. Daily I check my Google...
I actually ignore what other sites do. If you spend your time thinking about them you aren't spending time thinking about your own community.
I am against adding too many rules. I have a short set that I rarely change. However I do have an etiquette thread which is site policies and...
I have a welcome PM that's not too long and generally people PM me back with a thanks. Also I have an intro area which is heavily used and members...
Bad moderation in a forum is one way to kill it. The reputation of the staff is vital. It's why DP has a terrible reputation imho as staff is...
Ditto. I am on par to do 1 million posts for 2009. I started in April 2007. There were dozens of sites in my genre. I was able to seperate...
Always remember that your forum is a community. Control the forum but do not control the community. It's a fine line but if you can define it...
200-600 per day averaging probably 280 right now. And a high percentage activate. I have had 68k signups and I delete unactivated accounts which...
Is VB even forum software anymore. I would call it as social community software now. The newest version is taking an even bigger leap away from...

I have always looked for a nice discussion board for forum admins. I never like TAZ and DP has so many problems I can't deal with it. So when I...
Always on bottom. Hidden forums are used less often by staff and top fold space should be reserved for the most widely used areas. Just a...
Oddly the latest 1.4.7 release yesterday was a security release. I had a breach at HackForums.net and upon investigating it along with Ryan...
Yes I saw you Kev. Part of why I joined.
You're also part of a more mature crowd imho. I deal with teens that think they are above the law. Some don't even think copying my site is...
I have #1 site in my category. Not listed. DMOZ sucks.
I C&D as well and most hosts shut them down rather quickly. Since my own forum is a hacker forum 99% of hosts disallow the material. So it's easy...
I agree. You need 100k posts just to be considered a serious forum. I would categorize 1 million posts as "large". My own site will be at 1...
I don't see this at all Kev. Usually when people are hacked they either have old versions or they run additional software. As the owner of...
Separate names with a comma.
