Here's the problem....
.... anyone with $50 and a basic understanding of computers can setup their own internet forum.
That doesn't necessarily mean that they should, however.
There are only so many different types of forum formats available, so there are bound to be similar looking sites. Basically, it boils down to content, atmosphere, and monitoring.
A friendly atmosphere will draw people in and keep them coming back.
A variety of worthy content keeps everyone busy.
And some oversight goes a long way to keep things running smoothly.
Not every forum meets all of these criteria, thusly, they'll fall by the wayside in due time and nobody will miss them.
It speaks volumes that this forum continues to grow and we're happy to be along for the ride. :thumbsup:
