I'm wondering what are the favorite mods out there - mods that are proven usable and are available to everyone.
What are your top three favorite mods that you use on your forum?
What would be your next three fav's?

Active Users, Private Messaging, and Events Calendar
Next three would probably be:
Avatars, Split Topic, and Sub Forums (I know these last two are still new, but I think they are phenomenal and should become part of the base code  )< |

Split Topic, Events Calendar, Poll. Avatars, Zuel's Avatar uploads, Forum Rules.
I still haven't installed Private Messaging as I don't see any reason people can't just email each other; what's the point?< |

Some folks may register not knowing that their email would be revealed when using the Snitz messaging system. 
Some folks have email addresses reserved for just family or business.
Private Messaging may permit them to communicate more freely.

Thanks for the Sub Forum plug. 
I think Site Integration, Forum Rules, FAQ Admin, and Split Topic are a definite must for just about any forum out there. They are a big help with management and organization tasks.
I think with some more work the Sub Forums would be a definite plus - especially for forums that have a lot of areas. It can make things a little more organized.< |

Because I would like to implement a few of them - but besides "popularity" I can't tell which mods will run without causing problems.
There was at least one rant about how poorly many mods are written.
But which ones?
Perhaps I should have posted "Which mods should be avoided?"
There are many learned hands on this forum who can, I hope, lend some direction as to which mods they find useful and have employed without ill result.

Popuplarity is never the best reason to add a mod to your forums; the only thing you should be taking into consideration with each mod is of what benefit it will be to your members, whether they'll appreciate it or not and whether or not it will add anything to the appeal of your forums. If you start adding mods left, right and centre based solely on people's recommendations or ehat seems "cool", you'll soon end up with a bulky, ugly, unusable forum. If I still had a backup of MeTV's first Snitz forum, I'd be able to show you exactly how bad it can turn out.

Shaggy, I can't believe that it was that bad...
I do agree with that philosophy. That's why I qualified my recommendations with the reason I use them.
Oh, and Marcel, I'm still waiting for Oxle to be released. < |
