[QUOTE="MapleDots, post: 2343576, member: 322549283"] Actually quite the opposite, it is a darn shame this forum has gotten to the state it has. Previous owners restricted it to a point that it was almost unusable even for Gold Members. It was all about money money money, or donate donate donate. If not that then Ads Ads Ads. Because we all know a forum is soooooooo expensive to run. Yes it costs money to run a forum but I do it myself with no ads, no membership fees, and no donations. The point of my post was simply to review the failed formats of the ones that have come before and to set the forum on a new more successful path. I personally think all aspects of the forum should be free and open, I think you could have a membership for those people who want to have more than 3 open active sales topics. This way the forum wont get flooded. I also think a reward system is the best approach to encourage quality posts. Reward with access to special member sections if you have contributed X amount of quality topics. Anyone can post but authors who contribute actual content and topics are in short supply. Believe it or not this post was not meant to harm DNForum in any way, it was intended to do the exact opposite and stimulate conversations so that history does not repeat itself and DNForum becomes a vibrant active community.
