Interview By: Greg Hard
We've got into the BRAIN behind invoid.net, this months second place winner!
UBBDEV: What do you do to keep your site “fresh” and keep the users coming back for more?
Konstantin: I keep changing the colors of the board and people seem to like it. I also listed to suggestions of other people that encourage more people to join, like creating specific boards, that was more and more people join everyday.
UBBDEV: What do you like and dislike most about the UBB
Konstantin: The thing I most dislike is that soon after I finish adding all sorts of hacks to my board, another UBB version comes out. Sure, it keeps me busy, but sometimes it gets too annoying.
What I like about it is that its easy to customize, you can make the board look like you want it to look.
UBBDEV: What is the one must have UBB mod you like best?
Konstantin: I think it has always been the WOL mod. I remember using it since the first board I got, and I just love spying on the members/visitors
UBBDEV: What are your users favorite mods?
Konstantin: I think the Hypercells and RPG stats. The PRG stats encourage them to post more, to see their stats better than other people's.
UBBDEV: Are there any "tricks of the trade" you can share with us, so other UBBers can benefit from your experience?
Konstantin: Be sure to read well the hack instructions, otherwise you will be rehacking it 5 or more times without luck
