Nebulous

Happy memorial day!

Not sure I would describe this community as "vibrant" ...it seems to be rather inactive, only receiving a hand full of posts (or less) each day.

Forums are dying and really don't have a purpose in 2025, & beyond. I still like them though.

Last post in this thread is May 8th? Hello from the future! Its May 24th! :P

I have scaled back my activity on forums and sold the forum I was running because I am too busy doing other things. I work full time, I spend time with my daughter and my partner, I have two dogs who I spend a lot of time with (we go on long walks almost every day), I go to the gym, I go the movie theater all the time (I have an unlimited pass to my local one), I have quite a few TV shows that I am following. Sometimes I play video games. I like to cook and meal prep. The list goes on and on.

Hi all, how we doing?

The weekend is here! Hope you all have a good one! :)

Giving opportunities to improve their behavior is always the best way to go.

My old forum was DDoS'ed a few times. Host would acknowledge it and recommend things to help, like using cloudflare, etc. Why would they act like it didn't happen? Also if you were a constant target of DDoS'ing, I would assume they'd terminate your account eventually because you are a liability and having you around is hurting their business operations. Moral of the story, run your forum fairly and try to be on good terms with everyone. Don't go out there making enemies and pissing people off. :P

Inactivity is the main reason staff members were removed when I ran a forum. Sometimes they took it fine and continued to be a contributing member when they had the free time to come make some posts. Other ones would become enraged and lash out publicly or just delete all their profile info / signature / avatar and never return.

What would the warning be? Stop voicing your concerns and opinions or else? Lol :P

Thats only "a problem" if you decide to make it into one.

When I am really in the mood to do some posting I have to be on a computer with a keyboard. I have good typing skills and can churn out posts WAY faster with a keyboard than tapping on a phone screen. I'll get on a forum with my phone but I am probably just going to keep my posts short, hi/bye type of posts.

My goal for 2025 is just to be healthier

These days I just run a blog and it doesn't matter to me if it gets traffic or not, if people want to look at it and comment on my posts, they are more than welcome to but I am not bothered if it fails to receive a ton of traffic. I am not going to create any advertisement threads or try to actively promote it except for putting a link back to it in my profile / signature on whatever forum I am on. I suppose I created it just go give my online friends a little window into my world, to maintain a presence online. It's just for fun.

January is finally here! Happy 2025. Hope everyone has a great year. :)

Nope, don't have the time anymore.

No goals for me since I don't own a forum. When I did run one my only goal was to keep on keepin' on.

Hey all, hows it going?

Logo and theme match nicely.

That is a lot of licenses for one person to own! :P

I don't respect or lack-respect for celebrities, to me they are almost like imaginary beings who's purpose is to entertain me via whatever device I am watching/listening to them from.
