What do you look for in a forum community?

An interesting thread with good detailed responses will get me. I like simple clean themes too. If a site is loaded with ads or popups to force me to join I normally click away. I almost never join a site forcing me to register to gain access to thread content.

For me moderation isn't something you'll notice right away. It's a reason I will stay or leave though. Example is TAZ. I was a member there and participated in a couple good threads but because of the lack of good site moderation I logged out and have not returned. When SF passes them I'll find a special way to gloat.


I'm with you there. I know threads get closed but beyond that I'm irritated if I'm censored or chastised. I've gotten into some awesome flame wars in my day too.

And F me I just noticed this thread was a few months old. Oh well...still good content.

Yea. I don't like major themes. I like nice simple themes, also I like custom themes; it show's the forums is dedicated.
