Default Where are all the members?

I noticed that there were 8000+ members on this forum...Yet there are only 3000+ threads! What is going on here! Unless most of the posters are just picking out their templates, and leaving, you really need to do something about the post count :-/

Not really. It's not required that they have to post here in order to get a template, nor should it be. So the postcount is low in comparison to its members..and?

Yaxio = yaxay ......


Although, since vBT switched to vB3 I've noticed a drop in activity..

It's not vBulletin 3.0, it is the license system integration which is stopping pirates from accessing downloads and such. Not much can be done, newsletters are going to be sent out weekly and bi-weekly to keep members updated, but that is about all that can be done until I get a chance to speak with John.

Yes, it's the licensing system which put down activity from pirates.

But we can still get to the way we were with a licensing system, such as like vB.org.

Why don't you remove the browse restrictions then?
Just set 'can download attachments' to NO, that should suffice.

i personaly think apart from the pirates that have been stopped most people only pop in when they have a specific problem to solve regarding templates... i think you might find a sudden upsurge in posting when vb3 gets released to the masses

I guess that to is one of the problems faced, everyone wants vBulletin 3.0 (well, 90% do) and do not want to keep changing things for no reason when they will have to re-do it all for vBulletin 3.0, once released.

We shall see once vBulletin hits beta.

Not sure, I do not have access to a stats page currently (not installed once since the move to Jelsofts servers).
