I run a very small (27 member) political forum with a friend, and my question is how beneficial is it to have the "Instant email notification" turned on? I am looking to generate content for the forum but at the same time I would like to know if turning this on bugs users? I would love to heard input from as many people as possible about this topic and what people prefer, having the Instant email notification on or off.

Why not ask your own users? or give them a choice?

Personally I don't really see how it will make a difference to the content generation.
If people are interested in the topic they will return to post

Asking here, on an unrelated forum populated by web geeks who like to get lots of emails 'cos it means they are really popular ( just kidding gals & guys ), will mean the answer will not really relate to YOUR members.

Well lately, a lot of our members have been unactive, they are mostly acquaintances that I haven't got a chance to talk to in awhile, because we're all really busy with school and whatnot, and I'm new to moderating a forum, I'm not exactly sure how to turn on the e-mail notification to users, like when people reply it will email them. Is there a way to do this with VBulletin, I've been told there is I'm just not exactly sure how.


The second part of this, is that I'm not sure if people get bugged by the instant e-mail they receive, that's my primary concern, what draw-backs if any are there?
