Forum Packages

How about having a package request forum on the help forum? That way people can request for post packages. For those who don't know what a post package is, they are a requesting forum for you to request a new member (or more), a new topic (or more) and a new post (or more). But they need certain requirements, but on the lower one you don't need any requirements. The different packages will give a different amount of new members, posts and topics.

I never got the point in this stuff. It just seems pointless and spamming your forum. I rather keep my forum active the right way by post that members like, giveaways, services like graphic design, helpful tips for computer or even a game or console. This support forum is for help with problems with your forum and help make the forum look better. How will this make your forum look better?

Voted no, I've always thought this was stupid. It's basically just faking activity on your forum and therefore defeating the point of having a community. Sure, your forum will look active, but it will actually just be a ghost forum. Plus it's kind of sad when you need to cheat your way to "activity" on your forum.

I've seen this system work in the past. I've also seen this system destroy people's hopes more often. The ones that look at a forum's statistics the most are the forum's own admins. Members don't join because of a "sheep-effect" but because of the contents

=> Voted No
