This forum is meant to be a discussion of how to build online communities of all kinds (forums, blogs, chats, etc.) - how to draw members, contributors, etc. - without being site specific (please note our policy).

It has been a huge problem in this thread with people disobeying the site specific rule, and our moderators have spent hours we simply don't have, here snipping out URLs to comply with forum policy.

I'm therefore going to close this thread. I apologize to those who did get something out of it and to those who followed our policy in their contribution to this thread. Please post your questions as new threads.
