Last chance! Will end this in a couple of hours.

Hiya Neb. I'm good. How about you?

It’s true that we’re so much into being used and also want as much as likes as possible. Forums don’t give us that,

Have you ever found yourself staring at your registration numbers, wondering if they’re growing fast enough? It’s easy to feel stuck or unsure about how to attract new members. What methods have worked for you to boost sign-ups? Are you trying ads, social media, partnerships, or something else? Do you think your forum is welcoming enough to newcomers?

Hi [uSERGROUP=2]@everyone[/uSERGROUP] - Our voting will end in a couple of days. So if you haven't voted yet - now's the chance :D

Several add on's have been updated. There are no noticeable changes on the front end except that the Topsites will now reset their votes every month. So this makes it easier to climb the ranks every month. [ATTACH type=full" size="897x576]1181[/ATTACH]

No, I'm kidding, lmao. I wouldn't bet money on it, because I'm sure you'll do anything to win. 😂

Howdy everyone. Almost weekend. Anyone got any plans for the weekend?

Deal. The loser hands over their forum.

[ATTACH type=full" size="176x148]1180[/ATTACH] ( yes, mine are also rookie numbers still. :P ) Admittedly, I've had help from older domains that are being redirected to here.

That's the big question, isn't it? :D What's approachable for someone isn't necessarily approachable for the other. So yes, it's a subjective question. I think for Administrata, we've done an ok job to make it inviting and welcoming. But someone else might not have the same thoughts.

Sometimes I need to read something more than once before replying. This was a sometime. 😅

Ah my bad, it does make sense in that case. My brain didn't fully process it clearly.

That doesn't make sense, since the owner still has to renew them. Therefore it doesn't matter if they're close to expiring or not.

Looking to build some content up on a new general discussion community before launching.

Does not matter. If you want to sell a license, it needs to be renewed before you can transfer.

That’s actually sick. I’m wondering if we’ll see XF and Invision follow this path.

Welcome to Administrata Eclipse. It’s great to see you!

I could’ve sworn I did.. but apparently I didn’t. Will do when I get back home. :)

I think it’s purely coincidence. Maybe they wanted your domain since yours makes more sense.

Yeah it was definitely a hard audience from what I could see. So much improvements but not much appreciation. Hope that's better now.

Topic has been cleaned. Take it up to DM’s if you wish to continue the earlier conversation. No more posts in that matter will be tolerated. Thanks. [mention=74]Cam[/mention] - Of all boards you administrate, which ones gives you the most pleasure? And which ones was the most challenging to take over?

When it comes to new members, how do you strike the balance between welcoming them and ensuring they earn their spot in your community? Do you have specific restrictions in place to encourage meaningful engagement or protect the forum from spammers and low-effort participation? For example, maybe you: Restrict private messaging until a member reaches a minimum post count. Limit access to signature lines until they’ve been active for 90 days. Keep certain (sub)forums read-only until members prove themselves with valuable contributions. What’s your approach? Do you think these kinds of restrictions help encourage quality participation, or do they risk alienating new users?
