What do you think of false advertising? Examples of false advertising include: when It does not even have 10. When there are only a few members.. I personally think its low to do such blatant false advertising.. It wouldnt be too bad if the numbers were slightly inflated, but this is talking about inflation into the hundreds/thousands.. |

I didnt say I wanted to join. I just said that I consider it as false advertising. How would you like if SomeotherPRovidErofrEmotelyhostedforums said that it used vB? And it turns out that they don't, after you join? Bad example, but you get my point. |

I really wouldn't care, to tell you the truth. On a matter like this, its a simple click of an "x" to say no. |

It is pointless actually, seeing as if they are telling you about this 1000 member forum, they will probably give you a link as well. When you click said link, you will immediately see they are liars. As a result, you don't join, and ignore the ad. |

It's still a waste of you're time. I actually perfer to join small board so I get to know everyone and get a feel for the community. If boards where honest about being small I'd want to join more. |

I don't have the authority to say who is responsible, but I agree with Das in saying that If you are truthful about your member population, people are more likely to join..

Yeah, it drives you crazy how so many people register, but only a few are actually active! I have 45 members and about 10 are active... |
