My forum is hidden from the public and not open to new members, but between the five members we have, including myself, we have accumulated over 4,000 posts in 350 topics. I consider that a success :D

Don't you think this is unjust? Nothing should be kept private... and on the internet?? You definitely committed a CRIME...

Heehee, not at all. I pay the hosting, I call the shots ;)
No doubt we will unhide eventually and then you guys will be the first to know, believe me! I LOVE my little forum and am so proud of it I could burst ;D

Wow, there seems to be far more attitude then any helpful advice given in this topic. ;)

When you find out the answer let me know. I would love to have a successful forum someday. :)

Who does someone have to prove it to. Start quoting numbers and you may be able to answer the question yourself. If someone ask a general question they'll get a general answer.

Enough post, topics, users and modorators etc to have it run on auto and to provide me a winter home in the Bahamas and a summer home in the mountains with weekend trips to New York in my gulf stream to eat, see a play and chase skirts. 8)
One way may be to say you want to make 30-50k or what ever a year off of it and generally how many members would you need.
