If I remember right... I inserted my Mac disks which came with my iMac and installed the computer drivers from there.
Windows worked perfectly since then.
A few various reasons, back in 2008 I used to run a large general discussion forum - it reached 800,000+ posts and was pretty active with a decent user base... but eventually people grew up and parted in different ways away from the forums. Plus I personally only liked to use vB 3.8.X software...
When looking on forums, what do you look for in order to register and participate on them?
Do you look for a certain brand of software being used to run the forum, a certain niche, certain users already using the forum? What makes you stay around?
