Your vBulletin site sucks if...

Inspired by Curtis and Caddy in the Quick Reply thread, here's a few "your vB site sucks" tips...

Your vB site sucks if it's got more ads then Times Square.
You know your vB site sucks if all your avatars are broken.
If your vB site is still using the default skin, your vB site just might suck.

Your site might suck if you don't put members first.
Your site might suck if you have the floaty message that tells you you're not registered.
Your site might suck if you continually get emails from them notifying you of weekly updates.
Your site might suck if you have a news bot that takes up all the space in new posts.
Your site might suck if you have power crazy moiderators who like to ban.

Your vB site sucks if you remove core features that make the site harder to navigate for diehard vBulletin forum surfers.

Your site sucks if there are flame wars erupting in every thread. (Unless yours is a debate site, of course)

Your vBulletin site sucks if...

...your header/logo doesn't stretch the length of your forum's width.
...you can't figure out what your members really want from you.
...your forum homepage has more advertising than threads.
