How successful have you all found this to be? Granted, yes, we'd prefer a recruit who actually reads the forums as this could be indicative of more in-depth knowledge of the game than those who don't, but it seems a very small percentage of players actually get on here. Maybe General Discussion or Class but probably not server-specific.
Just scan down at the number of views of each thread....generate a quick median in your head, and then consider that a small percentage of those are possibly non-affiliated.
