That's the spirit!
To me, this forum has everything that could possibly
be added, apart from a live chat room. In addition to
the topics, there are competitions, the shop, the arcade
and the lottery. You also get rewarded with WB's for
posting and other activity awards. I can't imagine what
else the staff here could possibly do to improve it.
Sometimes I do come on and find there are not really
any new topics that I personally feel I can make a
decent reply to, but then I just see if I can contribute
a new topic.

Quite so Jay, if members just won't post and help to keep the topics going
then it makes no difference how good the forum looks or how much the
Admins do.
This is why I think the Off Topix Bucks and other awards are such a good idea
here, they not only reward members for their efforts but also give us something
to aim for.
One sure fire way to lose members is for the Admin to promote somebody to Moderator, then allow them to go off on a crusade with their new found power to delete posts and lock threads on a mission to clean up the forum.
Right now I'm considering deleting my account on another forum because a new mod has decided they are the final arbitrator of content.

I agree with you Doc and it's happened to me before. Unfortunately for me, before I could ask for my account to be deleted, the mod decided to give me a permanent ban. All because the mod was power hungry and didn't like me to begin with. Why? Because I had the nerve to stick up for myself and ask the why me? question. Now a year or so later, they sent me an email asking me to please come back. It will be a cold day in hell before that ever happens! Same Admin, same mods and a dying forum. Why the hell would I want to go back there!
