i second this one... it's dedicated to directories... and also home to the famous ivs directory list...
The problem with these other forums, I haven't looked at yours yet is that a lot of them are over-run by nutters who are willing to post on behalf of others and usually its of just one script at any given time. (Not blaming any single script here). This means that the many tens of thousands that use other scripts (and they do exist) simply take one look at how the directory area is working and move on thinking it just isn't going to be worth joining for fear of getting ganged up on. It happened to quite a few on here quite a lot which is why you don't see many posters from esyndicat owners, phpLynx owners and so on. Its not because they aren't interested in getting involved and bringing these forums traffic its because they feel they can't. Shame that.
we don't all favor one script although my forum is relatively empty lol http://www.webdetector.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=62
If there are 10K plus all lost at sea, would not this create an opportunity to build a new forum boat to pluck them from the icy waters. ?
I believe lots of people have tried and failed simply because the brat pack get in and ruin everything first. My question is just where do these other script users go? I know from direct involvement with phpLynx that most of the users instantly go for linkback removal and wouldn't dream of coming to these forums simply because of the mentality of some idiots. (I had a classic example of that today on another thread). What I don't know is the forums that other more popular scripts like esyndicat hang out, have they got some kind of secret forum network maybe. hmmmm, makes you think don't it.
