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 🙏

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

I often compare this to physical stores that refused to digitalize and launch an online store. The news often states they go bankrupt. It’s a recipe for disaster. While online communities don’t face the same immediate risk, the principle still applies. AI is everywhere - automating tasks, generating content, even shaping online discussions. Some embrace it, seeing it as a tool for efficiency and growth. Others resist, arguing it dilutes creativity, replaces real interactions, or even poses long-term risks. If you’re against AI, do you think you’ll eventually be left behind? Will refusing to adopt AI tools put individuals and businesses at a disadvantage, or is there still value in keeping things 100% human-driven? Is AI truly the future, or will there always be space for those who stick to traditional ways? Let’s hear your take! :)

I once did that with Palworld Forums. I quickly dominated the internet (except for Reddit) while overtaking the official Palworld forums. But as I lost interest in the game, I couldn't be bothered to keep up, so I sold it and since then it's still growing slow but steady.

Nice work. I once used that theme back when it was first released on XF 1.5 IIRC. Lovely.

All good! Glad it’s sorted out.

I have updated this thread with many new graphics (courtesy to [mention=84]SarahKik[/mention]). Our reward of 200 credits still apply. If you wish to support us, please choose an image and add it to your signature/forum/website. Or update your existing images. Thank you!

A bit controversial, but is it true? AI is creeping into every corner of the internet - automated moderation (Reddit), AI-generated content, chatbots answering questions instantly. Some say it’s the future of online communities, making engagement smoother and reducing spam. Others argue it’s killing the heart of real discussions, replacing thoughtful posts with robotic, emotionless responses. If AI starts generating discussion topics, replying to threads, and even moderating debates, do forums lose their authenticity? Or can AI be used to enhance, rather than replace, real human interaction? Are we heading toward a future where AI-driven forums are nothing more than glorified Q&A databases, or will smart automation actually breathe new life into online discussions? Where do you draw the line between helpful and harmful AI in forums?

I have already sent you a DM with a link to this thread: https://administrata.net/threads/attention-plus-members.2390/ (Only viewable to Plus members) which explains our reasoning, the cheaper service, an additional perk. And the recommendation to cancel your subscription since this is still applied to the old price, which is a dollar more / mo. We didn’t change the subscription. We can’t add or remove the value of your current subscription. We can only change the usergroup name. So we don’t suddenly bill our Plus members 2.49 nor 24.90. They are still paying 3.49 as previously. So if you do nothing, you will be charged 3.49 at the end date, per month as per your old subscription. I don’t really understand why you’d make this thread, unless you aren’t able to see my DM (which was a group conversation). But I know for a fact that you have read the conversation and the thread about this. It’s not nice of you to say this is bait and switch. If anything we are the most transparent we can be.

Okay, I'll put my million offer away. 😞

Running a community comes with its fair share of legal responsibilities, from ensuring user privacy to handling content disputes. For many community owners, the legal side can feel overwhelming, especially as laws evolve and new regulations are introduced. Now with the new OFCOM law, we see many community owners just throwing in the towel. They're giving up. So, is it about making sure you're fully compliant with privacy laws like GDPR or CCPA/OFCOM? Or maybe it’s dealing with the complexity of copyright, trademark, and intellectual property issues? Perhaps it’s handling user-generated content without getting into legal trouble, or keeping your community safe from harmful behavior while respecting free speech? What’s the legal headache that keeps you up at night, and how are you managing it?

Appreciate the feedback so far everyone. :)

Forums have been around for decades, but as we know, social media platforms, real-time chats, and live streaming are dominating online engagement. Do you think that the classic forum format still relevant? Some say the traditional forum setup is outdated - slow-paced, hard to navigate, and often full of clutter. Others argue that it’s a unique space that allows for deep, meaningful discussions in a way that quick social posts can't match. What do you think - does the forum format need a major overhaul to stay competitive? Or should we embrace its niche and keep evolving within the classic structure? If it does need a change, what would that look like? Would more interactivity, better design, or social media-style features make the difference we want/need?

Every community needs rules, but where do you draw the line between maintaining order and scaring people away? Some platforms enforce ultra-strict policies with heavy moderation, while others take a more relaxed approach. Have you ever seen a community lose activity because of overly rigid rules? Or, on the flip side, have you seen chaos break out due to a lack of enforcement? Where do you think the sweet spot is when it comes to setting Terms of Service? And how do you keep things fair while still protecting your community?
