What Is The Most Important In A Forum Community ?

[DarkAngelBGE]

I am very excited to see the results. IMO this is a tough one.

You can also put up a ranking order...

I voted for : The sex appeal of the Community Administrators lol j/k

Nah I voted for the friendlyness/politeness of the community. But it sure helps to have Quality/Helpfulness of Forum Posts/Topics

People actually post something and not only 3 words. That which is called spam !

The size of the community -> the more members the better. - depends if they're active and you really can have a nice environment even if they're few members.

The number of forum posts/topics. - doesn't have to do with anything. If the topics and posts are on nothing interesting, it doesn't help at all

Same people come back often -> build up serious friendships. - Goes with number 2

The sex appeal of the Community Administrators . - what do you guys look like ? on the net I can't tell

If you can talk about any and everything with the other members - always good

[edit] I didn't put them in any order, just posted a comment on each of them

#1: Quality/Helpfulness of Forum Posts/Topics (get tired if forums have same old topics and debates)

#2: Friendlyness/Politeness of Community (goes with #1)

#3: Same people come back often -> build up serious friendships (why come when you're hated by everyone)

#4: The sex appeal of the Community Administrators (HAHA!!!!!)

#5: If you can talk about any and everything with the other members (goes along with #3)

#6: The size of the community -> the more members the better (not really, seeing that most of them will hardly post let alone be active members)

#7: People actually post something and not only 3 words (sometimes, those kinds of posts are fun, look at WA)

#8: The number of forum posts/topics (the more, the spammier methinks) :thumbdown:

1. Friendlyness

2. Helpfulness & Quality

3. Low/Null offensive material (the less the better )

I thank think friendlyness politeness is the key to having a good forum

[DarkAngelBGE]

I myself would also go with Friendlyness and Helpfulness of Forum Posts, as these two are the basis for any good community that gives itself a reason to come back to its home.

Amen.
