I say this many times. All promotion forums should have the right of having members. They have the growth too. 😉 Just because they have not been around for less does not mean they are the ones people should use more.
In a way you are correct but a forum has to earn the right to have members, having members is not a right, a member will only join if they feel the forum has something to offer them. I won't join a site unless I feel it will either benefit my site (if a promotion type forum) or is a site I would enjoy posting on. With new forums you run the risk of putting in a lot of hours just for the administrator to pull the plug. I am interested in your site due to what you offer but I don't know your track record when it comes to running forums so won't join till it has been going a good while or I have gotten to know you and feel like you are dedicated to your project.
