Just wanted to update everyone on my forum offtopics.com My forum is now a PR3 and I've also attached a screenshot of my awstats. a guest emailed me stating that he couldn't register on the forum and he's been trying for quite some time and it turns out my captcha service was not displaying the image. since then i get about 2-5 registered members a day and i get lots of lurkers. Not many members post only a handful and that has been the most challenging obsticle. can anyone offer more tips for establishing a forum? Thanks!
