How do you deal with troubled members?
Yeah, talk is always the best option, if you can make it happen. Understanding the root of the problem and finding creative solutions goes a long way, but there are those who just...can't get along. In those cases there aren't really many choices.

Nebulous dropping in!
Always great to have you with us, Nebby :)
-
What control panels have you used on a server?
It really is, I haven't had the use of cPanel in some time and I miss it, but I'm glad I'm not paying for it.

Your costs for your forum/site
Sounds perfect :)
-
If you could bring back one forum software
Oh definitely! They're not worried about letting that minute (by comparison) business sink.
-
If you could bring back one forum software
Therein lies the problem, getting those devs back and ditching the giant corporate overlords
-
If you could bring back one forum software
Just the two left for me, but I'd renew in a heartbeat for a 3.x revive...with good devs. Hell, I'd renew my wBB license if it wasn't so convoluted to use. Or UBB.Threads if it was being developed efficiently
-
If you could bring back one forum software
Oh yeah, very much agreed!
-
Moderating friends
Yeah, at least for a bit.
-
What mistakes have you made?
Mistakes are the our best teachers!
-
Would you pay to have your laundry done?
No, it's not that much of a chore, and once it's done it's done, so I wouldn't pay someone to do it for me.
-
How much control over your forum do you give your Admins?
If I trust them enough to be administrators, then I trust them enough to know what they're doing. I tend to not restrict anyone I invite to co-admin with me.

Holiday Themes and Features
That's unfortunate, they should just have fun with it for a bit.
-
Do you use AI?
Yep, it's got a long way to go yet!
-
Do you use AI?
I tend not to. I've used ChatGPT a couple of times, even tried it out for writing a program, and it...works...but I'm not really sold on it.

Partners and finances
I tend to avoid talking finances on projects that I start, they're on my server so I'm paying. If I join a project as a partner I'm open to talking finances, but it's not really happened for me as yet. In terms of EARNING money from a site, I turn it down every time. Even when I was a PTM working on packages, I cashed out once to donate everything I'd earned to a charity event that was running, and then never cashed out again. Forums are a passion for me, so I try not to complicate it with money.
-
When a troublesome ex-mod reapplies?
Depends on the person, what they've done and if they've made efforts to improve themselves and their standing in the community, sure. If they've done something abhorrent like leak private information or anything like that, then no, I tend to not give them a second chance.
-
Would you allow members to see their own user notes?
No, not really, but then I've stopped using usernotes practically everywhere, so there's not much for users to see about themselves.
-
Did you use vbulletin back in the day?
I absolutely loved vBulletin during the 1, 2 and 3 days. Used it on SO many different sites. I loved some of the knock-offs, too, like wBB1, heBB, ovBB and early MyBB. So much fun in those days, everyone tried to be vB :D
-
What control panels have you used on a server?
cPanel, Plesk and DirectAdmin. All are...ok, but cPanel rules the roost.
