Do you think its a good idea to run advertisements on your own forum site to make a profit? Clearly the only way a website can survive is with a revenue source, but how far should individuals go to make money off their site? Are popups, popunders, big bright flashing …

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.

When you're not logged in here at daniweb, you see a message that shows the total number of members, the number of people online now and the number of members online in the past 24 hours. I like it a lot, and I'm also using vBulletin. How did you do …

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.

About 25 unique registered members visit per day. Are these results low for a forum of this type? Suppose each registered member visits …

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 …
