Running on a previous version of your forum
I may shock you guys but i'm really concerned about this :
here's the stats :

853,888 messages dans 22,990 sujets dans 7 Forum(s)
8,805 Membres

every single thread down there is looking like your Neverending thread
no admin in sight (in fact they're a music band , the 5 and that's all)
and worst , the moderator tend to encourage the flood/trolls more then they stop them .

I know you'll say : stop going on this forum and that's all ...
but , it's a really lively channel that could be one of the best ( maybe second after yours ;-) )

Is there anything I could do to help them without there concent ?

and then you'll say: no there's no backdoor on our Web Wiz Forum
and i'll answer : thanks ... at least i've tried something .

Is the administrator present and allowing it? Are you the administraor? Do you have admin access?

I'd guess the only thing you could do would be to contact the Admin and voice your concern over the state of the forum... but it's you against the other users.
On the other hand you may find the other users want it cleaned up as well. try asking the rest of the community.

TNX for your fast reply ,

I've tried to post my concern on the forum:
cases:
1-my post is flooded right away
2-my post sink in the buttom of the list

I told you , the admin are from a music band ,
they're not really admin at all ...
I'm wrestling with the idea of sending them an email to see what they'll say

but before this, I would like to know your oppinion about these stats .
they look unhealhty for me but I don't know exactly what the forum can support effectively

Should I PV them ?

Edit: I've recently spoken with one of the moderator .
I seem like some of them Have the same concern then me .
But , the situation is worsening even more each days .

I'm sure that many of you will have good ideas to deal with that .

thank you very much ...
