Love it, especially the "Mutes" part of it! We have many members who only read the forum and contribute nothing. Our pester message is friendly but it does show up often. We've had it up for a couple of weeks now and already a few formerly mute members have contributed a few posts. Not many, but it's a start. Many thanks to the plugin's creator, who very patiently listened to issues and then fixed bugs and tweaked his plugin to make it even better. I want you to know that your efforts did not go unnoticed and were in fact very much appreciated.

Admin needs to be able to decide when to pester and how often, and not have to be governed by hours. Please create option to pester as many times as we want, i.e, after every post read etc.

VPester is handy for politely informing those frequent guests to either join or not join.
