TOTAL waste of time! I managed a site with over 10,000 members, we had 20-30 regulars posting on the forum. All the forum did was give members a venue to bitch

Twistys in 2011 when I started there had a forum. Honestly, we had VERY limited number of posters.

I tried it before. Same results.

I think it might be good or at least okay to allow members to comment on new posts. Give ratings. Give emojis, gifts to the model, maybe. I would also make sure I got an email when someone did post.
