I guess what it comes down to -and I am loathe to say it as these things have a way to bite me in the ass- if I had not taken admin the site would be closed down. Whether it took a few more weeks or a couple of months after BO2 I do not know. But regardless of what traffic BO2 would bring without an admin to move forums and do things that mods cannot the operations would stall and the site would have then needed someone from the people who own the domains to work on it and it would just not be worth it to them.
EDIT: ^^ I know this because I have discussed it with them.
Why don't you post this there?

I appreciate the fact that you think it might have some merit. I do in fact have something I am writing to give clarification to a few things but honestly the few voices of opposition that are left over there care not for facts, logic or reason and are still blinded by what they think they know and their hatred toward me. So regardless of what I say the thread will be overlooked, derailed or unacceptable to them. And those that are my friends or that know I am trying to keep the site going will most likely say nothing. Not because they do not support me but because they are tired of all of the drama that exists simply for the sake of existence.
That site has me to the point where I have joined another COD forum and I am completely anonymous. Aside from the admin and a few moderators no one knows that I am an admin at another site and no one knows that I am female, which is the way I like it and plan on keeping it that way for as long as I can. Why did I join? Because I wanted to be a part of a large community where even being gone for 10 minutes saw 20 more threads posted in. I wanted to be able to post again and mingle. I cannot do this at C4B anymore.

The only part I really miss about C4B is the Team C4B - PS3 thread. And this whole forum is now that thread.
But really, I like to think that I'm good at website design, so I'll give you some ideas. C4B is overwhelming to visitors. First the "REGISTER TO READ MORE, SOLDIER" thing that popped up. When I saw that the first time, I just left the boards. Only reason I eventually joined is because I found the site in another link and wanted to post a message. Let people join when they want, forcing people to join just breeds useless posters.
The other overwhelming part is all the subforums. It's not 4Chan, go in with a chainsaw and slim it down. You don't need seperate PS3, 360, PC, General Discussion, and Issues sections for each game. Chop them down to 1 subforum per game. I personally would do this:
HEADER: Call of Duty Game Discussion
SUBFORUM1 - Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 Discussion
SUBFORUM2 - Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Discussion
SUBFORUM3 - Call of Duty: Black Ops Discussion
SUBFORUM4 - Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Discussion
SUBFORUM5 - Call of Duty: World at War Discussion
SUBFORUM6 - Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare Discussion
SUBFORUM7 - Call of Duty Classic & Future Discussion
Those would be used for tips and discussion about the games. Lump all sections into a main, that way you have 1 moderately busy subforum instead of 4 empty ones.
I would make a single subforum for "Game Issues" that lumps threads about all games together into one section.
Cut the Clan section down. Nobody goes there to find a clan, that's the truth. Have 1 subforum for Clans in general and 1 forum for server info/discussion.
I would keep the "Video Games" section as is, but rename the specific platform down to "Xbox" "PlayStation" and "Nintendo" rather than specific console names.
For Off-Topic, I would seriously consider just making 1 Off-Topic Lounge sections rather than separate Intelligent, Media, and Tutorial sections. Just sticky Bored Thread.
I would keep Call of Duty News section at the top as is for now, I might have other ideas later.
---------------
That's my unsolicited advice, you probably don't care for it and won't use it, but it got my brain moving and I had fun coming up with the idea so it wasn't all unprofitable.
And I read the thread titled "Eggz!!!" over there, and Smoke is a gigantic prick to you. He acts like such a dbag when replying to you. Seriously.

No, it won't. There are still members that know how to think. Hanson has your back. Go post over there.

Actually BPB and I were discussing this very thing, you have just made it easier. I will work on this this weekend. As I told BPB the numbering system for the forums is so messy that one wrong move and news and junk ends up at the bottom so I have to be careful and screen shot the pages so I can remember what they look like if I screw something up as there is no go back button.
And actually thank you this is very helpful.

Thanks Hanson. This is also something that I am working on. Don't get me wrong guys I know you guys have my back it's just that while I appreciate that I really do not want to pull you all into another all out war. It is not fair to you all on a personal level and it is not fair that yet again you have to be dealing with bullshit. Something always has to happen over there, there always has to be people complaining about something.
And the ones that would post about their day and actually enjoy the forums I think are just pushed away by the general unfriendliness and if not rude grudgingly way new people are treated by some.
So I know you guys are all good. I'm here right? I post boob pictures right? I love you guys I gave you a panty pic damn it!

Thats why we are a Gaming Group.
Love and Hugs all around.
I would defo re-organize the sections. They are all messed up. Videos are EVERYWHERE.
Dunno if i'd do it as Vette said... but it needs switching.
If you need help figuring out the numbering for the sections - just ask. Lemme look at your screeny and I can help.

And keep in mind that people don't like change unless they are the ones instituting it. There will be complaints even if it makes the forums 100x's better. But as the admin, just post a simple emotion-less explanation of "This is what's best for the site, and this is whats happening."
And is changing forums around hard in VB? I've only been an admin in phpBB, I have no experience in VB so I made my suggestions thinking that it was easy to merge forums together and organize.

The numbering structure is a bit odd.
Each forum has a number. And every subforum gets a number. And everysubsub gets a number. And they all line up down the side.
Looks like
1
2
3
6
1
1
2
3
2
6
1
4
5
You get the idea.
It becomes a maze to figure out which forum is for where.
Because while you may want news at the top it might be in the middle in in the admin panel. Lost among the numbers all lined up lol.

Sometimes you gotta push through the bullshit to get to the good stuff. Feel free to put it on me/c4bmorons on a personal level. I still care for that site it's where I met everyone.
The site can always be turned around. You changed the name; change the banner and the attitude. You're admin, you're the push it needs
Also this gif seemed appropriate

A few curse words, I said the word b00b, Syn posted the numbering system for the forum and someone mentioned vb and ph..p...b...b which sometimes I think can be taken by some filtering programs as bad and lumped into the offensive pile... I don't know maybe?
