kevin, i personally think the admins and mods at vb.org are doing a great job. they come up with new original ideas, try to get involved the members with various contests and new things.
the main atraction for people here at vb.org are the hacks. most of the time, people just go directly onto the forum and search for something new.

you know what it's missing here at vb.org? the proper display of announcements. most of the time people dont see it at all becausre they dont read it, so it's normal not to get a high response. let me tell you what i did me on my forums. at the top of each page i located an announcement with a query to display to content of an important announcement, like for example the hack of the month, etc. so in this way, people cannot miss it and they get excited.

take a look below for an example:
