Don't over MOD your forum!

Many forum owners tend to do one special thing. They find as many modifications to the forum software as they can and install every single one of them. This will not only make your forum look bad but it will also cause it to run slow. Every MOD takes mySQL queries, and as many queries that has to be run, the more the server has to work, and in the end, this work will be the thing the users will say is slow. And a reminder, the most forum software's you download or purchase is packed with features from the start. So why do you install modifications to your forum? Because you want to enchant the forum even more and make it more unique. But instead of making it unique you are doing as many forum owners. Making it more like other sites and makes users want to leave it. So therefore a good advice from my side is that don't over MOD your forum! It is simply not worth it. In the end you will be sitting there with your forum taking time to load and eating up your server resources. And add one and one together and you figure out that it is not good
