The Ninja Game I suppose, or all of the singing and danc...all five.
EDIT:
Ok, to give a fair judgement, I decided to go visit your site, and will it looks like it's pretty well organized, I think you have chosen irrisponsible mods. All they do is abuse their powers by editing users posts to make comments, like in this thread:
http://ninjasoftforum.proboards107.com/index.cgi?board=complain&action=display&thread=1150482796
I think it lacks authority and purpose, authority because of threads like this:
http://ninjasoftforum.proboards107.com/index.cgi?board=games&action=display&thread=1150741279
...and purpose because of the whole forum itself. Would I not want to put a WIP thread here where a lot of people will see it? Do you realize that about %25 percent of your members are moderators?
A forum like this should remain secret, made with boards that are used only for discussing the games you are developing with your friends, and make yourself the solo moderator, because with that few members, you only need one. Think about it, you have 21 members, and TGC has who knows how many. There are only maybe 4 DBP and geek culture mods, if I am right, and you have five for 21 users, counting the mods.
I myself have a forum which does not have more than 5 members, and I'm not going to post it up, but I'll say that the reason why is because it already servers its purpose: as a place where me and my online buddies can share files and work on our large-scale project. Could I have more members? Sure. But I chose not to adevertise it because what purpose would it serve? Sure, I plan on releasing it to the public so that people can have an easy-download location for demos, and can watch the progress, but there will still be hidden boards where code snippets are shared, and for now I remain the only moderator and administrator because there is simply no reason to have more.
5 members is not much? That's absolutely true! But I only have 4 members in my team (one of them left do to a busy schedule), and since the forum is for our discussions, it has the maximum number of users necessary to get the job done. And I find that, with such a small amount of people, our work progress very quickly indeed.
I do not want to discourage you, I know how fun and exciting it is to make a website with users and boards, but you will learn, and probably already have learned that when advertising such forums in such an early stage, new users tend to remain as they are, i.e., they join, make a post, and never come back. But with a working demo, lots of screens, and a serious attitude without all of the "lols", "whining threads", as you put it
, etc., people will find your forum to be an interesting and enjoyable place to visit. Think of TDK's forum, it has some problems with user inctivity, but he did not publicly release it for a long time.
Good luck with your forum and I hope you progress well in your games. I still want to see some screens.
