[tip] Remember that your FORUMS are your content
by filburt1 18 Jan 2003

(This is all IMO)

That is, statistics and such are nice, but they should never precede your actual forum listings. Visitors to your forums do not care which attachment has been downloaded the most or what the weather is. They came to browse your posts, and hopefully post themselves!

If you want to add such hacks, do so at your own will but at the very least put them after the forum listings. Also avoid cool but pointless hacks like what the weather is. If you run a site about, say, ASP development, people don't care what the weather is.
