Anyway, good luck with your search.
Most other forums I have been to, if I were to create a thread, I would automatically be subscribed to that thread and when someone posts on that thread, I get an email saying "Hey, someone responded to you on your thread." The issue with requiring, err, excuse me, "Strongly encouraging" people to be active on forums mainly deals with those introverts like me who don't like using forums. Though in the past, I have used forums but I find them to be a source of unnecessary drama. It's part of the reason that I try to keep my online and offline lives as separated as possible. Also, Tribe may want to have a global link for "Rules", because "Step-by-step Application guide" doesn't scream "Rules of the Free Company" to me. Sorry.
