Successful Site?

[DeLeTeD]

I have been apart of many sites/forums now As a webmaster what do you consider it being successful?

Getting alot of new members daily?
Your total member count?
Lots of posts?
Lots of threads?
Lots of guests?
You making $$ off of it?

As WarezTrap is about to hit 100,000 posts (or 170,000 articles if we were ipb, lol lame)... I wonder what is a successful site.

Your thoughts & opinions?

Activity and community, That's a successful forum .

RT is right, that's all you need, that's a successful forum.

 

[DeLeTeD]

yea community is huge. Thats why I think warezscene is one of the best forums. Despite the size you still get a community feeling.

Regular returning members. With all the autoposters going around I don't consider post count is judging how sucessful a site is.

 

[Th3_Narcissist]

An active shoutbox also :D

It's all about $$$. You can't make any if the rest of the "success options" don't happen.

 

[Myth?]

Activity and having a actually Community,not just leechers looking for downloads.

Success should be measured in quanitity of traffic, income being a by-product.

As a webmaster what do you consider it being successful?

Success is taking your site to a level that you couldn't even imagine it being at when you started the site.
