Two reasons.
One, they weren't the same kind of forum. This one is a general discussion forum, while the one I was on was more of a roleplay/storywriting forum. It could've worked out I suppose, but the idea never occurred to me.
Two, I didn't really like the other one. One of my friends long ago just brought up that he had started a website of his own and needed admins there to help keep fools in line, so I agreed to do it. Out of the fifty-ish (maybe) members, at least half lacked common courtesy and sense, and I really only befriended two or three of the others. And after a little while, the main admin, who was the only reason I joined the site in the first place, just totally vanished. So I just handled the site for about a year or so until it eventually died, partially because the only guy with any power (me) never really contributed to any roleplay/storywrite thing (I just banned people and chatted, so not much respect to me) and partially because the community sucked. I rather enjoyed its death, because when it was on its last legs, it was only the few cool people and one a$$hat left who mostly knew how to behave, so there wasn't much moderating to do. Then we just parted ways.
Exposing NH to the bumbling fools I had to deal with would not be a good idea... more members often doesn't make a forum better.
