I look around this board and see too many of one thing: Ads. Not only pop-ups (those are inevitable) but blatant plugs from our own members. Bot only are we fored to look at "PLZ JOYOIN MOI BORADDD!!!!1111111" in every other members signature, I get to have my PM box flooded with requests to join their board. Now don't get me wrong, this isn;t an attack on the members that are doing this, most of them are actually my friends but in all honesty, we DON'T have all the free time in the world to visit every board we find out about, and considering that these boards offer nothing that this one doesn't there is hardly any reason to go there. These boards are not made because they have some new and amazing feature, nor do they have a unique community, they're merely made so that the creators will have admin power. Once again, I apoligize for any members offended, but this is just getting ridiculous, just enjoy THIS board as a normal member, trust me as someone experienced with it, being a mod/admin isn't really all that different than being a normal member, it's more fun to actually earn these ranks.
Oh and just so that you know, Boards will never have many members unless they have a SITE to go with them, and it has to be a GOOD site (not Geocities, tripod, angelfire, etc).

I agree. I went to a few of those boards advertised but I realized it's just a waste of time. Now I'm loyal to only this board and some other game websites' boards. Luckily i've only gotten like 2-3 of those kinds of PM's lately.
And I hate when people's message boards are brought into the subject, like "you need to post more at my board" etc... but yeah. overall, the stuff in the sigs doesn't bother me too much.

I kind of agree. There are just too many members with boards now. And like you said, I really don't have much time to join them. I might consider being an active member if it had LOTS of members, but not when there're a few. I don't mind the ads in the sigs though.

it's more fun to actually earn these ranks. I like earning my rank, too. ;D

Yes. What is the point of going to another but much less-active board with the same people there?

Yup, and with all the new boards out there, people wonder why their board doesn't have a lot of members. People can't join them all, dammit!

I only go to three boards, but all of them are different. One is here, one is a strictly game related site where a go to a couple of different forums, one the last one is a San Francisco Giants discussion board. I dont see the point of going to this board and then another board very similar to this, especially when it is less active.

I agree that the ads have to be cut down
But about the activeness, i've found Lucas board in particular is VERY active...
TOO active actually... i just can't keep it up.... I've almost stopped posting at all here because it was.... TOO active... lol I like this board where i can actually keep track of all the things here...

Yeah. Luca's board has too many new threads and posts a day that I just never have time to go there. I love the TO boards though, mostly because I recognize almost all the members and there's not TOO many posts/topics to have to check everyday.
