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.

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!

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.

Google analytics doesn’t help your forum turn into a bustling marketplace. It tracks your traffic.

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?” 😉

What seo tools?

It all depends on what type of forum you’re running, but generally badges and user titles work.

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.

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?

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?

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.

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/

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.

Patrick used to visit some admin forums in the past. There were some blogs that were published that discussed the book as well. https://www.entrepreneur.com/science-technology/why-forums-may-be-the-most-powerful-social-media-channel/223493 https://www.convinceandconvert.com/social-media/brand-community-managers-take-heed-of-managing-online-forums/

I haven’t been to the one in Texas yet, but I went to the one in Massachusetts when I was younger. Now that one on my sisters lives in San Antonio, I’ll probably visit the one out there soon.

Facebook parent-company Meta is currently fighting a class action lawsuit alleging copyright infringement and unfair competition, among others, with regards to how it trained LLaMA. According to an X (formerly Twitter) post by vx-underground, court records reveal that the social media company used pirated torrents to download 81.7TB of data from shadow libraries including Anna’s Archive, Z-Library, and LibGen. It then used this information to train its AI models. The evidence, in the form of written communication, shows the researchers’ concerns about Meta’s use of pirated materials. One senior AI researcher said way back in October 2022, “I don’t think we should use pirated material. I really need to draw a line here.” While another one said, “Using pirated material should be beyond our ethical threshold,” then they added, “SciHub, ResearchGate, LibGen are basically like PirateBay or something like that, they are distributing content that is protected by copyright and they’re infringing it.” [HEADING=1]Torrenting from a corporate laptop doesn’t feel right" - Meta employee[/HEADING] Then, in January 2023, Mark Zuckerberg himself attended a meeting where he said, “We need to move this stuff forward... we need to find a way to unblock all this.” Some three months later, a Meta employee sent a message to another one saying they were concerned about Meta IP addresses being used “to load through pirate content.” They also added, “torrenting from a corporate laptop doesn’t feel right,” followed by laughing out loud emoji. Aside from those messages, documents also revealed that the company took steps so that its infrastructure wasn’t used in these downloading and seeding operations so that the activity wouldn’t be traced back to Meta. The court documents say that this constitutes evidence of Meta’s unlawful activity, which seems like it’s taking deliberate steps to circumvent copyright laws. However, this isn’t the first time an AI training model has been accused of stealing information off the internet. OpenAI has been sued by novelists as far back as June 2023 for using their books to train its large language models, with The New York Times following suit in December. Nvidia has also been on the receiving end of a lawsuit filed by writers for using 196,640 books to train its NeMo model, which has since been taken down. A former Nvidia employee blew the whistle on the company in August of last year, saying that it scraped more than 426 thousand hours of videos daily for use in AI training. More recently, OpenAI is investigating if DeepSeekillegally obtained data from ChatGPT, which just shows how ironic things can get. The case against Meta is still ongoing, so we will have to wait until the court releases its decision to say if the company committed direct infringement. And even if the writers win this case, Meta, with its huge financial war chest, will likely appeal the decision, meaning we will have to wait for several months, if not years, to see the final court judgment.
