If folk think that I'm referring to Accyweb with my question,I'm not,I enjoy it here (sometimes)
I guess a forum is only as good as those folk who moderate and pay for it.
Optional extras (for me) would be a good community spirit,a decent array of topics,a good level of tolerance by moderators... and of 'all' folks opinions and ideas (freedom to use explicit language niw and again wouldn't go a miss) they're just some of the things that make for a good forum in my eyes.
While the things that make for a bad forum imo are members with God complexes,over moderation,no diversity in topics,personal attacks on members.
I'm not sure how to draw the crowd as the saying goes,a good range of topics and relatively quick responses? I don't know
