I think a must have mod will have to be a Quick reply, Every one like to use a quickreply other than just using the normal way that take longer.
 
Not a fan of the ''post bot'' MOD myself. Like to post announcements myself.
 
Actually, I don't use mine for announcements, but for those who post Introductions will get a nice welcoming from our bot alongside a few general reads. And it will automatically post birthday topics for me, so...it's pretty nice in that fact.

I don't want to be welcomed by a robot, it's impersonal in my opinion.

Also a member can start a birthday topic. Doesn't need a bot 😛
 
The quick reply is always a good one. It took me a few minutes to install.

Guys the OP is just trying to point out some good mods and your totally going off the intention of the thread. Personally I like the post bot. You can get useful information to a new member fast and I usually have a post right behind it welcoming them personally. Back to the topic.

I was actually thinking of trying to spice up one of the forums I work on. Great suggestions. Any others that would encourage participation?
