How many of you have seen somebody make helpful comment after helpful comment, or release great hacks/code, and then head over to their site because you were impressed with what you had seen of them on other sites? Probably most. :) The converse applies...I know of a few people whose …

I thought I understood the difference but when I read a post here that discussed vBindex I am not sure I see how it differs from what I would call a cms. Thanks.

How do you create custom pages like [url]http://www.daniweb.com/mediakit/[/url] that appear to be integrated with vBulletin? I'm fairly new to vBulletin and am currently migrating one of my websites from ASP to PHP. I can see some advantages to the integration, but I'm not sure how you accomplished it.

Just that question. What are the pros and cons of implementing a no-advertising policy (i.e. while posting) in new communities which are looking for more members? Do you think initially people should be allowed to advertise their sites/products or is this a bad thing? Let me know what you all …

I'm starting a forum for the first time, I think a off-topic one would be the best/funniest. What name should I pick? If you don't like either, can you give me a general idea of a good name.

I'm throwing a $100 contest for refering members. January, 1st, 2005 is when the contest ends. Whoever did the best, will then get $100 via pay-pal. Do you guys think that's to hefty? Or, perfect? (They got to be sencable members too, no 0-1 post members)

Could a CMS be modded to work something like classmates.com? I think it would work well for a single school but do you think it could be used for several schools...each school with its own photo gallery and its own forum? Thanks.

TechTalk currently receives about 2,500 hits per day (this includes both members as well as guests). In addition, we receive about 8 new member sign-ups per day.

Here's a question to all those forum administrators out there. How do you choose your moderators? The most common way is to pick out the exceptional members of your forum and ask them if they would like to moderate. This is great because your new mod is already very interested …

Just like most forums, we have a Moderator Forum meant for discussing behind-the-scenes issues. No members ever can see or have access to this forum. My question is whether it is normal practice to count posts made in this forum towards the overall forum post count statistic that everyone sees.
