It doesn’t exist anymore. The big boards website hasn’t been around for a couple of years now.

Hey [mention=74]Cam[/mention] welcome to the community! It’s great to see you here.

I’ve been with the same host for about 5 years now, but I haven’t had any issues with a DDOS. I also protect my server with Cloudflare and block malicious traffic through their Firewall.

I prefer a paid theme customized to my own liking.

Mddhosting has been my go to hosting provider for years and I’m still pretty fond of them. However, I’m going to start using Ushost247 soon. I’m also pretty fond of Knownhost as well. I’ve had a few servers from them in the past.

I prefer to use a VPS server, a reseller or a dedicated server. I haven’t used a shared server environment in years.

Cpanel is my go to control panel. I don’t like using any other control panel when it pertains to managing my websites.

I’ll throw Virtual pet list into the ring as well.

It’s clear that they want it to be more active and engaging or else they wouldn’t be rolling out AI bots. They have a strong believe that it’ll help them attract a younger audience. https://www.firstpost.com/tech/meta-is-planning-to-deploy-millions-of-ai-bots-on-facebook-and-instagram-as-user-base-shrinks-13849279.html [HEADING=1]A struggle to stay relevant[/HEADING] As Meta grapples with declining popularity, particularly among younger audiences, its AI-driven strategy appears to be a bold—if controversial—attempt to maintain relevance. However, the decision to flood feeds with bots risks further alienating its remaining users, especially those already disenchanted by the platform’s current state. While Meta pitches the bots as a way to enhance engagement, many view them as a desperate measure to inflate activity and sustain ad revenue. Whether this gamble will pay off or deepen the exodus of users remains to be seen. For now, the move is seen by many as a troubling step toward an artificial and impersonal social media experience.

The ones with dedication, passion, and the drive to keep improving their forums are usually the ones that last the longest. However, working hard alone isn’t enough to keep a forum alive and ensure long-term growth. You can work hard, but without genuine love and passion for your niche, it won’t survive forever.

I believe it’s the same reason why community owners are using AI bots on their forums—they want to boost engagement, and they feel that Ai bots can help them achieve that. Facebook doesn’t seem to know what it wants to be anymore. https://www.reddit.com/r/technology/s/05cVB2Tsw5 https://www.reddit.com/r/Futurology/s/He3nsjekG1

What particular forums? Do you have tips that you’d like to share with upcoming forum owners? What methods have worked for you?

Congratulations! [mention=69]Hulk[/mention] Yes, you absolutely do get a cake!

I’ve completed my part.

I’m currently listening to I don’t love like I used to by Jaybenz.

I currently only own one domain name.

I’m currently listening to got me geeked by Denzel curry. [MEDIA=spotify]track:65xcchkTcVBAWiIR6f9mMU[/MEDIA]

I browse forums most of the time on my mobile phone. According to my traffic stats from Cloudflare, about 40% of my forum users also browse on their mobile phones, while the other 60% use their desktops.

I’m currently listening to Who is who by S.Dot. [MEDIA=spotify]track:5YX6BgQCoKGRaVmsVHjHMI[/MEDIA]

I don’t think i’d ever try Potatoes on pizza. That sounds bad.
