Well please ignore the fact that the below link is of a hosting companies forums and read everything.

What i am showing you is how much more active they are (relatively speaking) and what you may not notice is that being an active member is 10 times more rewarding than it is with HG. I use thier forums every day and do you know why?

The forums are more strictly organized, they cover more subjects better, and also have a credit system. Take a look at the VB commerce section as well. Although i do not care much for it the real deal is the Ads and offers section were ppl may post for help or offer help for credits. The credits are from a VB MOD and adding them shouldnt be too difficult for HG.

Why should HG do this? Because it will improve the already good feedback. The forums are a great form of support for more then just such simple topics. I use those forums for soooo many things like:

http://forums.x10hosting.com/compute…ing-linux.html

http://forums.x10hosting.com/program…t-show-ie.html

http://forums.x10hosting.com/compute…computers.html

Although i am a complete nub these awnsers these ppl give are very helpful, I can thank them by adding to their REP or sending credits to them so everyone wins.

Now i know it would be a big change but i strongly believe it would be for the better. It would make me stick here easily. It would improve your feed back and honestly is itself a good reason for people to stay. Not just awesome support from staff but awesome interaction with other members.

Again i know it would be difficult but you really need to change the theme you use. Something with larger dimentions for the forums, I know the way you integrated the top menu and the footer is nice but id rather have the nicer forums any day.

Ppl might be wondering how do you get credits? You get credits for every topic and post you make and somtimes on a per word basis as well.. You also get bonuses for your first topic of the day etc.
