scribbller made some good suggestions.

Best way I've found is to give guests a reason to join. Any reason, whether it be site features or what not.

ahhh, thanks

I went through all the stuff you did, trying to find the ONE. I never found it, and decided to build the sites by hand using php includes.

Dreamweaver is definately the way to go for you.

I think, for webmaster forums, it's a good idea to allow links in sigs and self promotion if it's relevant to the discussion at hand. Many webmasters participate in discussions just for the backlinks.

phpbb is good if modded properly, if you don't have the time or ability to mod a phpbb forum then it's best to stick with VB, although it's not free.

You make a good point, and Im sure thats what sets of the "too much too fast" filter from G, penalizing for alot of backlinks too fast.

hi there, Im new too. Lots of new people!

PhpBB can be just as good, in some cases better, than VB with enough time spent on it.

Mods are good for keeping members, but not really attracting them. Best way to attract them is to have lots of unique content, an active forum, alot of incoming links, and a good design.

Whats up folks, made my way over here and figured Id' say hi. Interestingly different layout this forum has.

dumb question maybe but do you have a DVD burner?

I like the look, it's clean and easy on the eyes.
