Congrats to CodeForum and [mention=129]Malcolm[/mention] :)

All the best. Hope everything is good!

Just to pick on your header comment, this is what I see: [ATTACH type=full" size="1917x406]1451[/ATTACH]

Merged the threads. :)

So imagine a world where every other forum software - paid or free - has vanished, leaving you with only the one you absolutely hate. Would you bite the bullet and try to tolerate it just to keep your forum alive? Or would you call it quits and shut everything down? Personally, I think I’d probably close up shop. I can’t stand proboards. 😆 But what about you? Would you adapt, or would this be the end of the road for your forum?

Wow, that’s stunning! What a great looking forum dude! I love how you customized the theme. It really screams RDR! And yes, your domain is really great too! Well done. :D I wish you the best of luck. :) Thank you for your comment also. :) I do advice you to create a listing in our Directory - I'll merge this thread with your directory when you've done so.

One of our challenges we face is to get away from the "90-9-1" rule. As you may or may not know, the 90-9-1 rule refers to 90% lurkers - 9% intermittent contributors and - 1% heavy contributors. [ATTACH type=full" align="right" size="347x292]1446[/ATTACH] So thinking logically, making a forum more user-friendly could definitely give you a better success rate. Making it easy for members to find what they’re looking for, participate in discussions, and feel comfortable in the community are one of those things. It’s more than just a clean design - although that’s also important! So we need to create an environment where members feel encouraged to engage. Do you check your online members often enough? Make them feel inclusive. Send them a private message asking how they are, every now and then. A minute of your time could make all the difference in their engagement. At the end of the day, success for your forum is about creating a home away from home that keeps people coming back. So, how do you measure it in your community? Is it more about active members, or do you focus on the quality of engagement?

Should communities focus more on niche or general topics for growth? On one hand we have people who despise general / off topic topics on their niche forums. On the other hand, we have people who encourage it because it clearly generates engagement on their community and thus adding value to their community bonding. So, what’s the right approach? Do niche communities risk stagnating if they don’t loosen up the conversation a little? Or does straying too far from the core topic dilute what makes a community valuable? And where do you stand - do you prefer to keep it focused, or are you all for mixing it up to boost engagement?

Hi [uSERGROUP=2]@everyone[/uSERGROUP] ! We’ve made it to the final four. Thanks for your support everyone! It’s well appreciated! Please vote for us or our contestant in the next round. 🫶 Remember to have 10 posts in the last 30 days! https://forumpromotion.net/threads/battle-66-administrata-vs-discussion-hub-east-division-vs-west-division.186509/

Every forum needs a steady flow of traffic to thrive, but how do you make that happen? Are you relying on good ol’ SEO, social media promotions, paid ads, or something else entirely? Maybe you've got a unique strategy that sets your forum apart? :)

Google is Goliath when it comes to web searching. It's so synonymous with searching the web that people even use the brand name as a verb; "Just Google it!" - "I googled them last night". It's hard to imagine not having Google search available (because we all use it so widely) but do you think we'll see a time when someone (or something) will come along and knock them off the top spot? Do you think there's any chance that they'll eventually overstep the mark on people's privacy or data warehousing that governments will taken them down or break up the various divisions, leading to a reduction or collapse of their search service? Or is Google going to be around for hundreds of years like many of the historical institutions that still exist today?

Yes, that must be a heartbreaking issue. Sorry you have to deal with this.

Sweet. Would be a good thing for forums if Reddit would stay dead.

Most issues have now been addressed. If you still see something, feel free to report. :) Additionally, we've made some changes to the navigation where it now opens menus when hovering on the tabs. This is targeted for desktops and other 'hover' capable devices mainly.

Morning everyone. :)

As you should. 😆

That’s purely intentional. 😎😂 No, I’m kidding. I’ll fix that later today. It was on the list but haven’t gotten to it.

That is strange. Could you post a screenshot? I’ll look into it today after work. :)

Nice! I’ve got a game you should try. No One Lives Forever.

We’ve made it to the Elite Eight! Thank you all for your tremendous support. This will be a challenge now that we’re facing against @Malcolm’s CodeForum. As always, make sure you have at least the required post count (10 posts in the last 30 days) and vote for either CF or Administrata! :D https://forumpromotion.net/threads/battle-63-administrata-vs-code-forum-east-division.186444/ Thanks 🙏

All good, fellas! One of the reasons we keep our older themes close. 😉 It's in my nature to keep things fresh, or else I get bored. Luckily for my wife, that's not the case!

These ones are the lies. 1) I have my own car bodyshop. 2) I have failed my 7th grade twice. 3) I went back to school for one year when I was 25.

A friendly reminder to cast your votes if you haven't. :)

That's not a bad idea. :D [mention=84]SarahKik[/mention] - could you look into this please? :D
