To those with suggestions for OCers.com; have you considered that maybe the way things are there is how the owners/moderators WANT it to be? Not every forum has to be run the way that is considered best by you.

I personally like somethingawful's approach to running a huge forum and dealing with newcomers: They charge $10 to join and if you violate a rule then you are banned and can rejoin for another $10. Rules include "don't be a ****ing retard". So you can act as stupidly as as you want but it will cost you a lot of money.

A couple of good things to come out of this thread:
1) I asked Joe to turn off post count again (he has to find it in the vbb3 options but no problem)
2) I crawled overclockers.com so their articles also pop up as hits in our search database now (the descriptions are still garbage unfortunately)
