  1. Making money from a forum is not an easy cup of tea today. You start with paid posters who eventually fade away. The problem is getting people to talk in forums on a non-theme associated forum/ Take for example, DP. It used to be a huge powerhouse, but since it has no dedicated base behind it, it is dying. I can openly recommend a few steps I have used to help some forums in the past. Establish a base or user source. Who will send you users? Most forums remain active by creating an internal user generator or utilizing an external base. Forming collaborations with bloggers, gaming platforms, etc, will send a consistent stream of posters to the forum. For example, a Free Game Pass for making 10 posts.. Start a link exchange program to increase SEO Establish an Admailr account to reach more posters

    I actually do not mind pets at all, but I never have time to care for them. As a kid, I had a family of cats. There were nine in all. But then I went to college. I have never had one since.
  4. I still watch it sometimes. I love Fear Factor. I believe that the challenges really deal with fear and how to overcome it.

    Well, I am glad that I'm neither a priest nor an FBI agent - all these criminal confessions! Well, I won't get left out. When I was a teen, I stole mangoes from my aunt until there were none left. I considered myself a perfectionist - nothing left undone.
  6. I do offer a lot of ree SEO tools like fre SEO audits, but when you get to the nitty gritty, I offer SEO services. Running a forum is challenging but not as tough as we make it to be. The key is to keep users interested. For example, the key to every forum are bloggers. If you can find them and pique their interest, you have won the battle.

    I do remember the early Internet days. However, my nostalgia is about Jamaica. How I miss the long, open beaches with clean, clear water under a beating sun. The rivers, the sunset, and above all, the delicious cuisine. Sometimes, I roll my thumbs and recall my childhood. Running crazy in the drizzling rain, bathing in the springs, or just playing soccer.

    I was reading the Train Spirits short story collection by Jean Seale. It is a good read on spirits that frequent trains. Some of these beings are truly evil and try to eliminate humans to keep moving on. I like the story about a lady who spends her life rescuing orphans. In this encounter, the spirit is an angel of death and mistook the lady as a human trafficker. He kills her after a long battle with her. He flies her to heaven, and God returns life to her. He then assigned the spirit as her new protector. It is a good read, I do recommend it.
