Thanks again for your feedbacks boys .
You are right arteaga624 That you must need some essential mods for forum, like itrader, etc. But mods like these Advanced Forum Statistics Referrer Statistics Visitors every 24 hours Who is chatting, for flashchat etc, put extra load on server. As you have new forum, so, I would recommend you to keep your forum as simple as you can.
nice list ~kev~ I'd send ya some rep, but I have to spread it around :| I would also focus on a clean style, you don't want to over hack your forum, it'll make it slow and open to exploits.
Thx Loco. I need to drop by your forum and post just "why" I put that list together. Its originally part of another thread.
