ahahahhhahahajajaja. THE STUPIDEST THING I EVER HEARD. So you are saying that we do shares just because we like it? hahaha no..., fuck no, in the beging ppl did posts and shares in order to get karma and post count to be able see other shares. to make it possible for lazy asses, Maxtor introduced special ranks, for community currency or real money. with time, this forum became real active = profitable for ads. but NOW that system died and ppl are interested only in those bots that register because of the high rated site as activity. better said, the ads. but this kills the forum since those new members are not active (nothing to find here) and don't post (same as first). if you want to change this you must offer them shares and to do that you must give to those who make shares a reason to do it. ftm you just refused any possibility to that by restricting the forum. maybe ipb gave you a way to improve but you are not using it cuz you are hungry for money.
