You certainly do not need four moderators when you have sixteen registered members.

I do it for two reasons:

1. Attract members for this very reason, as some register just so they could be Staff.
2. This way I won't have to get them later.
3. I accept only those who I already know are trusted and show proper skills.

And this is useful, as it's more likely for someone register if there are members than if there are low.

Looks good, but you have WAY too many forums. I would try consolidating them until your forum grows more popular.

Well they were requested by my members, so how can I say no

Thats excellent that you are listening to your member's needs, but I think you will have difficulty signing up new members with so many forums (it makes the site look empty).

Just my two cents. Good luck!

I think it will be alright until I keep adding threads and don't leave any part without threads.

1) You're hiring staff members for the WRONG reasons.
2) What's the rush?

Do you have any experience in managing communities?
I don't think you do..

PS thats more then two reasons...

As said previously, you really do NOT need 4 more staff members when you already have 4 yourself. That's half your board being staff! And your staff aren't earning their titles, they're simply first come first serve, so I really don't know how

you decide who's trusted and who's not...

I'm trying to tell you that it's just a trick to get members...
Anyone who tries to Apply and I don't know him get's denied...
I only accept HQ members from forums on which I'm on.

Many people suggested that when starting the site, find a way to get at least about 50 members, and then start serious stuff.

Anyway I purchased premium hosting and a .com domain.
If all goes well, I'll setup tomorrow.
