I recently installed vbulletin forum in my website.

1. The problem is that members are not talking. Forum is with no threads or posts even with 2000 members.How do i make ppl use the forum more effectively.

2. I am receiving 20 - 30 spam threads everyday. Most of the time i spend in removing those spam. how do i stop spam.any plugin or any changes i need to make to stop or reduce spam and spammers.

Kindly help me as i am a complete newbie.

I am not actually in my cp at the moment, so I can not tell you
exactly where it is; but it is in your admincp....QandA is very
effective, but it will not stop them posting spam if they are
already on, you will have to ban the member.
