    the other forums did that to raise the quality of the posts

    they do that when they reach 1000000 member

    I don't understand the concept of doing that. More users=more traffic=bigger profit.

    The only time I've ever seen a forum stop accepting new users is when spam becomes too much of a problem. But once they do that, the forums almost always slowly die.

    Well, I think those sorta stuff only happen in really 'eleet/underground' forums, which are more considered as a rendezvous point for a 'certain group' of people, rather than a public community like DP. :)

    I doubt they will. More people = more threads/posts = more pages for ads = more likely ads will be clicked = more money.

    But, from other point of view, servers also have some limits :D
    Suposse here would come 100 000 000 new members by end of this year. That would cost a hell of new severs :D

    New users should be always welcome, I think

    I don't even understand what you are talking about... :)
    It's not a good idea to compare DP with other forum which is not even in English language. Gimme a break! You comparing DP with local forums and wonder when DP will follow their steps??

    That's a horrible idea!

    Without new blood a forum dies, old members stop posting all the time, you need a constant influx of people.

    It would be a smarter idea to require payment to use the forums if your trying to improve the quality of posters.

    That does not make sense to me. The more new members the better!

    I think that is not going to happen for the time being,
    But who knows, they will, sometime in future or may even start Yearly memberships fee.
