many of the NOT ACTIVE forums are people who join and only post a few notes. those people are not really into adlandpro and they are not even active members
some of the inactive forums are the REALLY GOOD ONES. i still go to those forums from time to time and read. i wish bogdan would reactive the GOOD FORUMS.

One other thing about forums, if I may. There are two many forums that are not active, two many that have been forgotten, two many that are no longer valid, and two many that do not have enough information on them. It may be a how to Adland, but missing too much or can't post in it.
Like this one below. If they are not active and no longer any good then why not delete them from even showing up. Also people are putting up forums that have no threads in them as maybe not knowing what to do next.
How to present a successful Adland forum  This forum is not active, and new posts may not be made in it.
The inactive forums are automatically made inactive after month of inactivity. The owner can always reactivate the forum, should they return or just wish to be active again. We could not deactivate automatically forums, but this is just leaving them to spammers, who like this kind of forums because nobody will delete their ads (as owner is inactive) and yet they are increasing their visibility in search engines and on the site. Old forums are simply archives of this site. This link (which is at the top of each page called Forums, gives access to the forum area http://community.adlandpro.com/Forums/Categories.aspx which shows forums which are active and shows the list of forums based on the activity date, so you can see those which are recently posted at the top of the list. You never have need to go to inactive forums if you just look through the list of forums which have been recently posted to. Bogdan Fiedur
