    Feel Free to Sticky this if you want and put it were ever it belongs:like:

    Great Members – without members you have no forum
    Good Content – without good content you will get no members
    Courteous Staff – without courteous staff you will lose members



    What makes great forum staff?
    1. Share Knowledge
    If you post information from a source, include the link to the source.
    2. Expand on Content
    3. Be willing to help others
    4. Making other members feel welcome
    Reflect in your own past, and it will help you welcome someone new on board.
    5. Join in on conversations
    As stated above, you have to have members to have a forum, and you have to have conversations as well. Take as long as you want to take the plunge for your first post, but MAKE your first post! We do not bite. There are no dumb questions.
    6. Ask quality questions
    7. Give quality answers
    8. Start good conversations


    What makes a good member?
    A good member adds to the content of the forum. Regardless of how little you think you know even if you only know a few basic things; it may be more than someone else knows. You should share your knowledge regardless of how little you feel it is. Sharing knowledge and experience is how we all learn.

    6. Ask relevant questions
    7. Give relevant answers


    We all learn from questions asked and answered regardless of how trivial it may seem to you, it may be of great help to others. Not everyone will have the same amount of experience and knowledge as you. When you ask a question it does not have to be a long drawn out question. Short and to the point is acceptable.

    When you answer a question, please try to give as much information as you can without sending them to an outside source for an explanation. Do however give them an outside source if you feel they can benefit from it as much as they can from your answer.

    If someone has helped you on the forum, say thank you for the help, you could expand it more by stating how that member has helped you. A little praise and encouragement can go a long way toward making a great member.
