    I don’t pay for advertising, but I do promote on Reddit, Tumblr, Bluesky along with Twitter. I find it more effective to promote on social media than paying for ads. It takes a lot of time to do so, but it’s worth it.

  4. Since 2022, blogging site Tumblr has been teasing its plans to integrate with the fediverse — the open social web powered by the protocol ActivityPub also used by Mastodon, Threads, Flipboard, and others. Now, the Automattic-owned blogging platform is sharing more information about when and how that integration could actually happen. As it turns out, the current plan to tie Tumblr into the open social web will come about by way of the site’s planned move to the WordPress infrastructure. Automattic confirmed to TechCrunch that when the migration is complete, every Tumblr user will be able to federate their blog via ActivityPub, just as every WordPress.com user can today. The company noted that the migration could also allow for other open web integrations, like giving Tumblr users a way to run other custom plug-ins or themes. Last summer, Automattic announced it would move its half a billion blogs to WordPress, to make it easier for the company to build tools and features that worked across both services, while also allowing Tumblr to take advantage of the open source developments from WordPress.org. Though the WordPress community itself is in a state of upheaval, ultimately running Tumblr’s back end on WordPress would allow for greater efficiencies, while not changing the interface and experience that Tumblr’s user base has grown to love. Automattic declined to share a time frame as to when the migration would be complete, given its scale, but a rep for the company called the progress so far “exciting.” Users have been curious about the state of the company’s open social web integrations, which Tumblr said in 2023 were still being worked on. Recently, one user asked about the company’s plans in a Q&A on Tumblr’s Work In Progress blog. Here, Tumblr confirmed that fediverse integration was “one big reason” for the migration itself, and that it would “for sure” include support for WordPress’ existing ActivityPub plug-ins, which allow blog owners to sync their posts and participate in the wider open social web. However, Automattic declined to share if it will at any point consider integration with the AT Protocol, which powers the growing social networking startup Bluesky, another open social web participant. When asked specifically about how Bluesky might fit into these plans, a spokesperson would only comment on its ActivityPub progress.

  5. I think this still happens with a lot of forum games going on, like: “Count to 100” “Count to 1,000” While it doesn’t contribute much to quality posting, it’s still engagement and fun for those who enjoy counting! Forum games are a great way to boost engagement and increase post counts. However, they’re one of the few things that make reaching 1,000 posts as achievable as it was in the past.
  6. This is why I prefer long-term post exchanges over short-term ones. They can be highly effective if you find the right people to collaborate with, especially when the exchanges benefit both forums. Forum activity is essential for community growth, and the additional engagement from exchanges is always a plus—especially when partners actively contribute. I’ve been doing exchanges for years, and they work quite well. However, I’ve also had my fair share of exchanges where the other person disappeared. The key is to prioritize your own forum before posting on others, ensuring that the exchanges work in your favor.

  8. I use two factor authentication on my forum, cpanel and whm. I also make sure that SecfilterEngine is On in Htaccess along with SecFilterScanPost, which are both related to modsecurity and help protect your site from malicious requests & unwanted traffic.

    Good morning everyone!
  12. Absolutely! Member engagement on my forum motivates me and keeps me going as a forum owner. It’s truly inspiring to see members having fun and actively contributing.
  13. Google analytics doesn’t help your forum turn into a bustling marketplace. It tracks your traffic.
  14. WordPress has been around for a long time, and over the years, alternatives like Ghost, Drupal, Wix, Blogger, Joomla, and Hugo have emerged. But what WordPress alternatives have you tried and actually liked?” Are there any particular blogging platforms that you feel could give WordPress a run for its money?” 😉
  15. Gaminglatest was the last forum that I visited.
  16. It all depends on what type of forum you’re running, but generally badges and user titles work.
  17. A common misconception is that the “alt” attribute is just a “TAG,” but in reality, it’s a key element that shouldn’t be overlooked. To grasp the importance of the “alt” attribute, consider this: Google can’t actually “see” images. Instead, it processes the underlying code that helps display those images. To index and categorize your images properly, search engines rely on descriptive text. This lets them identify what your image is about, allowing it to show up in relevant searches for specific topics, people, places, or things. If you thought the “alt” attribute was only there for showing a description when you hover over an image, it’s time to rethink that. It plays a crucial role in SEO—without it, Google won’t be able to index your image, which could affect its visibility. That’s why it’s so important to source your own images whenever possible. And if you’re managing a forum, especially, consider finding an add-on that will automatically add the alt attribute to your Ensuring the alt text is in place by clicking the “i” icon on an image on an Xenforo forum will make a big difference for your image SEO. If you’re using other forum software, I’d recommend adding “alt” tags to your images as well, so you can get your images ranking on the search engines.
  18. How easy do you find it to connect with your target audience on social media? Is it a smooth process, or does it feel like a constant uphill battle? In my experience, success largely depends on your niche and what you bring to the table. If your content aligns with trending topics and provides consistent value, reaching a wider audience becomes much easier, especially when paired with the right strategies. But for more niche or slow-moving topics, the challenge can be real. What’s been your experience? Do you have any go-to methods that work for you?
  19. Have you ever had to pull the plug on a forum or website? What led to that decision? Was it a lack of activity, technical issues, or something that made you change your mind regarding the forum? Have you ever had to shut down a forum?
  20. I don’t believe forums are outdated. They’re still relevant in today’s internet and are more relevant than ever. I believe they provide the best source of real connections and friendly environments compared to social media. It’s a lot easier to navigate a forum and find genuine people & information than getting lost on social media.
  21. A team of investors led by Elon Musk submitted a $97.6 billion bid to purchase OpenAI on Monday. The news comes by way of Musk’s lawyer, Marc Toberoff, who confirmed the reporting with The Wall Street Journal. The unsolicited bid is the latest escalation by Musk in his war with co-founder Sam Altman, with whom he cofounded OpenAI with numerous other individuals back in 2015. Musk is already embroiled in a legal dispute with OpenAI, filing a 2024 injunction against its effort to transition away from its nonprofit status. The Musk-led team is positioning the move as a bid to refocus OpenAI on open sourced AI, as was its initial aim. “It’s time for OpenAI to return to the open source, safety-focused force for good it once was,” Musk told The Journal, by way of Toberoff. “We will make sure that happens.” Musk’s own AI firm, xAI, is involved with the bid, leading to speculation that a successful acquisition could find the two companies merging. Altman has fittingly responded to the offer via a cheeky X post, writing, “[N]o thank you but we will buy Twitter for $9.74 billion if you want.” Musk and investors famously purchased Twitter for $44 billion in 2022. TechCrunch has reached out to OpenAI for further comment. Source: https://techcrunch.com/2025/02/10/elon-musk-led-team-submits-97-4b-bid-for-openai/
  22. I’d still fine tune the results that Chatgpt gives you with SEMrush, wordstream or Arehfs to see how much those keywords are receiving in monthly traffic as well. The free tools that SEMrush and tips can help a lot. There’s a good resource site with LearningSEO if you’d like to learn one day! https://learningseo.io/
