Hey, you guys have like 5 pages of thread in some forums. Most of which are never looked at our posted on. Why don't you do some clean up work and delete some of the threads that are never posted on (such as 4 pages of them). I have a message boards of my own, and if a thread doesn't get a post in a day or too, it's probably dead, and I just deleate it. Also, I think it would help with some of the lag on this sight. If you were to make me a moderator (which I know you won't) I'd delete a bunch of the threads for you, but I mean it. Get rid of some of the old, and useless threads. Also, instead of just closing threads that go too far off topic (like I've seen you do) just deleate them!

Also, I'd recomend making an archive (if you haven't already) I made one on my message board to put some of the old threads that are really cool. Like the ones that get tons of posts, or ones that have some good informations in them. It would be a lot better than just leaving them in the normal forums, and letting them conjest the already over crowded forums.

Please think about some of the suggestions I gave, I know from experience that if you do some of this stuff, it will increase the quality of this message board drastically.

-Thanks-

Oh, I just remembered something else I think you guys should do ... Get rid of some of the forums. Most of them are pretty useless. For example, most people only use the general paintball forum for everything (masks, paint, etc) this makes the mask, paint, markers, etc. threads useless, and they just take up space. On my message board for example I only have a couple forums...

General Smack
-talk about anything

Imploding Pedestrians
-my band's message board

Questions/Advice
-Kind of like this forum

Archive
-Where I put all the really cool threads after they've died.

I know that you're probably going to need a few more than four forums, but I don't think you need as many as you currently have.

I like it the way the forums are right now. Compared to alot of other VBulletin sites, it's very small.
I do agree that there is a bunch of the same threads, especially in Blowbacks. ex. "What Spyder..Venturi Bolt??". It gets annoying for the people who spend alot more time in there.

Dude, that's stupid this message board counts the number of posts of threads that are still around? On other message boards, it counts total posts, weather the threads are still there or not!!
