Oh nice, I love those kind of things. Any particular brand you love ?

Nice. What kind of event?

Definitely agree there. :) Anything special planned today?

The last couple of days went into the development of our Content & Design Order system. It's worth noting that this has now been completed. While we're still working on the Meet The Staff section for content services (as we're actively recruiting talented team members), the system is ready for you to use. You can check out the services overview by clicking the navigation link below: 👉Explore Services Overview From here, you can choose between two services: Content Services: Order Content Design Services: Order Design Each section contains essential details about the services offered, including pricing, along with easy-to-use call-to-action buttons for placing your order. For example, if you're looking to order a custom logo, simply click the relevant button, and you'll be directed to the thread creation page. From there, you can fill in all the necessary details—your specifications, requirements, and any additional information—and our team will take care of the rest! [ATTACH type=full" size="1261x330]70[/ATTACH] To ensure client privacy, we've decided to keep the Content & Design Order forums somewhat hidden. Instead of displaying these forums directly on the index page, we’ve opted for a redirect forum that links to the services overview page. However, if you need direct access to the forums, they are still easily accessible through the navigation menu under "Shop & Orders". This allows for a seamless experience while maintaining privacy for our clients.

We weren't planning one, but I don't mind a chat thread myself. [mention=2]Al[/mention] usually has a problem with those, but if you want one, we can keep it. :P It's good for community bonding! ;) How are you today, Jake?

Let me know if the font is better now, [mention=51]Seeker-Smith[/mention] - I've increased it with 1px. :)

Welcome flower! :)

Howdy Peter! Thanks for joining. I’ll definitely check out your site, it sounds promising! And I had the same thought yesterday about the text. So I’ll see what I can do by either making it default big or having another version in the theme selection that is bigger and more bold! 😋 Welcome to Administrata. 🙏

Have you ever tried paid advertising? I’ve had some good results with Reddit and Facebook. Both allow you to set geographic advertising.

It's not fixed yet. Our in house designer [mention=36]BRANSOL[/mention] is creating the final version of our logo, so as soon as he's done, I'll let you all know when the new logo is up. :P

Banning a member is often a last resort when managing a community, something we normally don't look forward to - but the question of whether to allow ban appeals can be a tough one. As community leaders, it's essential to strike a balance between enforcing rules and offering second chances. [HEADING=2]What are your thoughts?[/HEADING] Do you allow members to appeal bans in your community? Has allowing appeals been beneficial, or has it caused more problems? How do you handle the process, and what guidelines do you set for appeals? We’d love to hear how you manage ban appeals (or why you don’t) and how it's impacted your community! Share your experiences below.

Howdy Nomad, it's great to have you. ;)

Howdy Jake. Great to see you on board! ;) I see that you've received my email... :P Thanks for joining!

Thank you! (test)

I'm looking to rebrand my company logo. (test)

Welcome to Administrata dude. It's wonderful seeing you back. Glad you're okay after your horrible accident.

Yes, I was trying the design out - we'll have a new one up later today. :D

1) In your opinion, how important is it for staff to stay active and consistently engage with the community? Can a forum thrive without active staff participation? It's crucial to have a dedicated staff who genuinely love your community and are motivated by passion, not obligation. Member engagement is difficult to sustain if the staff themselves aren't active and setting a positive example. 2) Do you believe a warm welcome from staff can positively impact new members’ experience and encourage them to stay active? Absolutely. Welcoming new members should be a priority for staff. A friendly and personal greeting can make a big difference in helping new members feel at home. Don't let a new member feel ignored. 3) What level of activity do you think is ideal for staff members to maintain on a forum? While staff members have lives outside the community, ideally, they should be active 5 out of 7 days and contribute a few posts per day, depending on the activity level of the community. 5) Do you reward staff based on their activity levels, or do all staff members receive equal recognition regardless of how active they are? Equal recognition isn't always fair. It's important to acknowledge standout contributions individually. Giving shout-outs to those who go above and beyond can motivate others to step up their efforts.

Yes. I believe they should have some good knowledge of the subject. I don't see myself starting a pharmaceutical website since I literally know zero about it. You wouldn't be able to passionately post or manage the board if you don't know anything about it. On the other hand, you also don't want to get cocky thinking you're a know it all. Stay humble, and know you can learn every day.

Hello Vipul, welcome to Agora. :)

Hi Nayeem. Welcome to Agora. :)

Hi Bryan! Welcome to Agora. :) Enjoy your stay!

Hey [uSERGROUP=2]@everyone[/uSERGROUP] A few weeks ago I launched ForumDir.com - initially a promotion avenue focused on the Topsites and the Directory with no intention to have a community. After some good conversations with [mention=2]Al[/mention], it became obvious we both wanted to do something more. We started brainstorming, talking to other people, gaining feedback and insights. Soon, we had a plan, a mission and a vision. So after a few more weeks of rebranding, setting things up correctly, etc.. Well.. We’re incredibly excited to officially introduce Administrata! This platform has been built from the ground up with one goal in mind: to empower community leaders, moderators, and owners with everything you need to help your communities grow and thrive. Whether you’re just starting out or managing an established community, Administrata has the tools, resources, and support to guide you at every stage. You'll see that we've decided to start differently than most admin communities by focusing primarily on empowerment.. We've tried to hold the same consistent design throughout the forum as much as possible. [HEADING=2]What You’ll Find Here[/HEADING] Support & Technical Discussions: Strategies for building and growing your community, discuss platform optimization, and explore long-term sustainability solutions. Resources & Growth Tools: This section houses essential resources like guides, tutorials, and networking tools to enhance your community-building skills. From Resource Articles to the Growth & Exchange Marketplace, we provide the infrastructure for leaders to trade services, collaborate, and grow their communities together. Community Showcase: Share your community, discover others, and find inspiration through mutual promotion. Whether you’re seeking feedback or simply want to connect with like-minded leaders, this is your go-to space. Content & Design Orders: Need professional content or custom graphics for your community? You’ll find services that cater to your needs, from SEO-optimized articles to eye-catching designs. (Coming soon) Growth & Exchange Marketplace: Engage with other community leaders through peer-to-peer exchanges for posts, services, advertising, and more. Looking to hire staff or find new roles? The Job Board will connect you with talent or opportunities in your niche. [HEADING=2][/HEADING] We’re just getting started! Administrata is built with flexibility and growth in mind. As the needs of community leaders evolve, so will we. [HEADING=2]Get Involved[/HEADING] We encourage all members to dive in and make the most of Administrata. Introduce yourself in our Introduce Yourself forum, participate in discussions, or share your community in the Community Showcase. As we grow, we look forward to building a thriving network of community leaders who support, learn from, and inspire one another. Let’s work together to turn your community vision into reality! Thank you for joining us – Welcome to Administrata!

Hey Shortie! Pleased to see you. Welcome to Administrata!
