hmm, 550 members, they have more members than posts

their highest posting member has a WHOPPING 3 posts

and it appears they have 28 guests online permenantly.

every single post on the forums seems to have a grand total of ZERO replies (except 1 of them)

laughable if you ask me !! - i dont like to put down a competitor so ill wish the owner the best of look in his business venture.

Their marketing scheme was very clever (but deceiving) and that's the only reason they have members.

They don't have a bright future really...

Why bother when there's a perfectly good forum here?

What did they do? Send out mail to WHT users?

Wait, wait...it's a whopping 4 posts for the top poster now! Seems like a shame they would go buy a fully licensed vbulletin, but are too lazy to come up with their own ideas for the forum. :p

Ahh I was wondering what they did!

That just makes their 'community' even more pathetic.

yes. They *may* have generated some membership by mentioning themselves in the ad forum here, but just signing up a membership against people's wishes was a pretty poor idea. I took one look at it, noticed what they'd done, and closed my browser.

Well .. if they stick to the default purple vB I don't give them a chance at all .. and their marketing techniques are a bit weird (sending spam to users from other forums) .. However, the domain is registered in june this year (in India) .. that's some time ago (long enough for a decent skin imho) so who know's if it's going to be WHT-2 or just WHT-Impersonater-3429 ...
