7,900 Members in 3 months...Yeah !
My site has been up since Early December 2002. I started out using postnuke and Invision Board. Feb 14th I had 4,000 members on the forums when I converted to VB, Now less than a month later - 7,900 + members. ( I also deleted 800 members who had not verified email )
We are also using vbPortal. I love it ! Thanks to all of you for helping me learn a bit about vb so this tranformation was almost seemless. No members have liked this post.

It looks good but that style is a style wich you can find on alot of vbulletin forums because it's a free style wich can be downloaded.
You have alot of members but not alot of posts, you have an average of 3,8 posts per member. That's very low. I have currently 2637 members and 210.316 posts, that's an average of 79,8 posts per member. See the difference?  You have alot of inactive users. No members have liked this post.

How did you get 8000 members in such short time? It's only possible if your site was there before you had forums or something, or your forums are a sequel to a previous site, where the members have all come over...something like that...
It's true what Lesane says there though. I have 3003 members and 152,000 posts, so my average # of posts per user is quite high too  However, I've seen a forum which has 900 members and 800 posts =/... Congrats on the 8000 members in such a short time, however you did it

It may be a high number of members but the ratio of members to posts is relatively low.

Yep. I see the point about post per user....
- The site is a support type site for the Dell Axim handheld users. - Most users hang around a week or so till they figure out all they needed to know. ( Explains the inactive users ) - The way I got so many so fast. Dell refers folks to the site for support to answers that can't answer. It was the 1st and pretty much the only site dedicated to this product. The template aside(which has been modified a bit, but is a freely downloaded style) - Any suggestions regarding the layout of the forums. Hack suggestions I should implement? Also, when a user clicks on last post, It goes to the top of the last page.... I think this template left something out. Thanks No members have liked this post.

Great site but I have to say I got a very large laugh out of the fact that your ad in the upper left hand corner still has that guy from Dell that got arrested for drug possession.

By now I am about to delete all of my inactive members, I have 121 members and 1,006 posts.
Damnit, how in the hell are you supposed to make a board active? I think my site has been put under an inactive curse or something...

My board had a huge post increase in the month of february, made over 10, 000 posts + March is so slow :-/ We can't help it, it all depends on your members.

Uh huh many of my users have over 1000 posts, and small sum of them over hundred, majority of my members are inactive. I would say about only up to 90 members contributed to 30 000 posts. These are loyal members who followed us from ezboard to ubb to phpbb and lastly to vB.
