ok, ill bite smile

a significant issue here at ubbdev.com is the "selfish poster" scenario (and i'm certainly one of them).

users get a message board and come here to make it better -- they want the latest "who's online" or "PM inbox" hack, ask for it, and leave, never to return, sometimes not even for a thank you.

and it doesnt matter how many warnings or tag lines or headers that get put up here, people still ask the same question over and over and over (without realizing its been already asked 50 times that same day)

so how to fix this specific problem?

would this community be better aided by disallowing posters access in a specific forum (say, the MODS forum) until they've contributed something?

would users here be more inclined to stick around if, for every 50 posts here, a bunch of ubbdev users "had" to become members on their board? (increasing their traffic?)

what about a "best ubbdev post of the day/week" contest, where the winner's site is flaunted and freebie-advertised upon ubbdev's entry page?

are there any other things that would intrigue you enough to visit ubbdev more frequently?
