    Depends on what you are interested in and probably what mood you're in. Sometimes I feel like reading threads, sometimes posting in the games and sometimes chat. There are too many variables to choose one of your options.

    Solely about the number of I wanna bang my aunt/penis size to four decimal places/ things i can stick in my backside threads

    Oh, and I almost forgot, getting super excited and rubbing one out while talking about any kind of surface your feet touch besides shoes and imagining yourself getting chastised by someone who just looks at you weird threads

    it's all about the board software. any good message board should be on software that was available during the reagan administration. old, barely functional software is much nicer AND EVERYTHING ELSE IS CRAP!

    not being banned for being honest, but not encouraging trolling either. this is usually not difficult to distinguish. but i'm sure it comes up everyday, if it gets a lot of traffic, situations where it isn't always quite so easy to tell.
    users need to understand though, that some things will get a site shut down by the government of whatever country it happens to be located in, and to be considerate of that.

    people talking about things that are interesting and unusual. and not being village idiots about them either.
    a none mainstream focus topic is helpful too.
    it would be better to have many different sites for many different areas of interest, then for any one site, to try to cover all of them.
    and they really need to be about their areas of interest, the whole internet needs to be, and not about the money game at all.

    I think everything of those you've listed is important in some way.
