closed million+ monthly forum coz of spammers, now what?
csomar: So you don't want to re-open it? and also you have a 1 million page view/month forum? (I estimate the unique visitors to 500K).My Question is: Are you ready to open another one? If yes, you already have the server that handle such traffic and the traffic that will boost your forum.Put up a new forum, make an ad, or something that attract the organic traffic to your new forum and fire up new discussion with a new community.I'm just giving arbitrary numbers: Let say you have 500K unique per month, only 10% follow your ad -> 50K unique, only 10% register and become active member -> 5K, in one year that's already 60K. If 1/6 is active daily, you forum will get around 50K post per day, that's in one year :DGood luck!
