Perhaps if you want to attain more active members, and more respectable quality (not content) focused members who will actually contribute something towards your forums appat from a slumbering post count you should try and learn more about the ethics of advertising. e.g., dont run around like a headless law defying chicken with no common morals just to get a couple of people view your site in pity.

Usually the people, when seeing the advertisements, it is there choice to click on the link or not, it is there choice to view the thread or not. It is also there choice to register on the site.

Law defying?? I really like the way that everybody just says, ahh you have BROKEN the law!! You must be punished, or venged or something. Take it like a Publicity on your house wall, you will take it off your wall as soon as you see it, it ends there. Users have the right to choose to look at the publicity and for all the people that think that advertising on other sites are STEALING members?? Maybe try to make your forum a little bit more interesting...

Well I think I have gotten my point of view across, I would really like some positive feedbacks on my forums. If you do not have any, then don't bother replying!

Thanks!

Charles

^ See that's exactly what I mean, you spam other peoples forums, but I see you have rules against it taking place on your site, and you can't take the heat here. Being biased, stubborn, and greedy won't help make your community very successful. You can have all the hacks, the best graphics, and even be unique, but if you have a character flaw it will restrict you greatly. Like now you are known across vb.org of all places as a spammer, that's a mad hit.

This thread is for all opinions, long as it's done in a constructive manor, you just have to accept it.

As I will try to reply to all of you people who think that I am a spammer, and I don't even get how people judge so fast by shooting out, "Hey, hes a spammer!!!", this is what alot of people think and what I really do not believe in..as alot of people really don't care and what most of the people should do also... for all the people who just follow the others saying, "Yeah, he spammed my board!" While spamming can be a big word, and alot of people use it the wrong way and really not accordingly correct.

Sorry for my english, and to reply to your recent "supposition", I actually have a forum setup for any people that would like to advertise. Which I think is really reasonable.

Like I said in my post before, please limit the replies to positive feedback and suggestions.

Thank you!

Yes but this negative criticism is really not about my forum but how I advertise on other sites. The opinions I would like have to be based entirely on my forum...
