I feel this is one section that is sorely mission on vbsetup, sure we can discuss various issues about running a community in sections like monetizing vbulletin and other technical sections, however few discussions are best left for the community management section where we can discuss various aspects of running an online community.

I'll 2nd this suggestion
I agree that more discussion about managing your forum, members, staff and the overall administration of the forum would be good.

Maybe a subforum "forum management" under vb questions?
Or should it have it's own forum

Dedicated forum would be better, then maybe it can have further subforums to discuss various other aspects of running a community.

any idea on subforums?
I can do some research for some articles to fill the forums at least with a post or two each

Maybe forum optimization discussion. Perhaps a section on training staff? In reality, it is kinda hard to train people to work for you, for free, and do it well.

Also, maybe a section on admin etiquette- relationships between the administration and its staff, as well as admin to member interactions, and even etiquette from admin to other site admins.

good ideas, so as far as forum optimization, it wouldn't be the same info in the seo optimization thread?

How about a section which deals specifically with advice on how to deal with unrest, revolt and troubled members? Maybe we can have that section accessible to only verified vBulletin forum owners so that the hesitation some might have while discussing such matters in public is taken care of?
