    When we moved to Xenfora some of the signature options didn't come over. In the old software signatures were limited by a character limit, on Xenfora there are more options and there is a character number and number of lines limit. I've set maximum number of lines to 4 and unlimited characters.

how did you make it so popular?

Others have given good advice - I'll just add a footnote about rules. You should absolutely ban anyone who is so lazy that they can't take the time (measured in milliseconds) to type "people" so just use "ppl".

Also ban ppl so anal about minor formalisms that they can't tolerate common abbreviations.
 
Hey! I'm making a forum about nothing in particular, just a general forum where ppl can discuss any topic freely without any rules or anything. I see this forum is pretty popular and I'd like to know how you got this far. Got any tips for me?
Thanks

You have to offer them something they can’t refuse. Like payment for google adwords

Become an extremely popular forum and then throw 75% of it away.
 
Minor quibble on one item... Amanda Knox was definitely railroaded by the abysmal stupidity of the Italian police/lab people and court system. But it is, thanks to that, never going to be sure whether she was guilty or not... I do not know because I was not there.

Excuse me. I actually extensively looked into this. The poor woman couldn't have been more innocent!

"I don't know because I wasn't there" is a cop-out. At least in this situation.

I wasn't there during the Civil War because it happened in the 1860s. I know it happened!
