Does the forum you visit need to be pretty to look at?

A choice of skins is important to me so that I can choose one that I like.

Speed
Is it important to have a fast loading forum?

VERY important although mine is very slow if I'm using IE and not Firefox.

Community
Ofcourse the forum needs a good friendly community but do people prefer a large community or a close and tight community?

Tight like mine, I remove 'lurkers' who don't post and just read. We're always very welcoming and some of us meet up once a month. Quality of members is definately more important than quantity.

Content
Does the content have to be focused on the a main small subject matter or a wider more open subject.

Wider, we have allsorts.

Features
Finally do you want extra features on a forum? Things like points systems, virtual money systems etc
Points system, Arcade, Flash Chat and more, greedy me ;)
