Exactly, that was the main reason i started my forum so i could have 100% control because other similar forums had inactive admins/mods & many problems & i knew i could do better...

HARD mine took about 1-2 years to get quite active now my forum is never empty there are always members online with about 50 guests or so, but if your hearts in it, it is worth it, otherwise just stick to site building i believe...
