From the Zyraen interview:


I suppose this advice is meant to be a joke.

Joke or not, it's very true. Except for certain very special, big mods such as Improved Anvil -- in this case, the number of total bug reports is negligible (and the number of serious bugs is practically zero) so the forum traffic actually consists of a lot of useful and/or interesting reports & discussions, and topics about what and how to add to the next release.

P.S.: of course, if there are other buggy mods (insufficient testing or not good methodology), they might cause traffic on the forums of bug-free mods as well (so this disproves Zyraen's words a bit), because sometimes compatibility of two mods is stated too early, without care. Players then come, and post bug reports on the forum of those mods which are not responsible for the bug.
