Hey [mention=3]Shortie[/mention] welcome to Agora! It’s nice to see you here.

My motive for creating my forum is to provide a place and resource for all virtual pet/simulation players to unite in an online community. This niche has been a passion of mine since I was a teenager, and I have always wanted to share my passion and hobby with others.

What are some of your favorite songs to write to? Are there any particular songs that boost your creativity and get you in the writing spirit?

According to ToonHive on Twitter, Tubi was the most-watched streaming service last month and had more viewers than any other streaming service. Does anyone here use Tubi? I use the streaming service sometimes. It usually has older movies and shows that other streaming services don’t have.

Eminem is my favorite rapper of all time. I’ve always been into rap music and hip hop. I grew up listening to it. R&B music is also something that I enjoy listening to. I am currently listening to “Welcome to Detroit" by Eminem and Trick trick

I generally sleep for about 7-9 hours every night. There’s some days that I may sleep less though and if I do, I’ll take a nap during the day.

I agree! The first episode started off right. The next episode will be quite good as well. I hope you enjoy it! I just started a new series called “Dark Matter”. It’s a sci-fi thriller.

Same here. I’m more of a night owl than a morning person. I tend to get more things done at night than I do during the day.

Post exchanges are something I frequently like to do with other forum owners. It’s a good way for both of us to build our forums and expand our content offerings. I’ve been doing post exchanges for a long time, and I do daily exchanges and weekly post exchanges with a couple of forum owners.

How SQL injections work, and how to protect your system from them. SQL injection is a type of attack where the attacker runs damaging SQL commands by inserting malicious SQL code into an application input field or URL. For example, imagine an app that returns all your information after logging in. That query may look like the following: SELECT * FROM users WHERE username = 'USER_INPUT'; If an attacker were to submit a malicious input, the query could change to the following: SELECT * FROM users WHERE username = '' OR '1'='1'; This query will return all users as '1'='1' will always return true. You can protect your system from SQL injection by doing the following: 1. Use prepared statements or parameterized queries: User input cannot be executed because prepared statements and parameterized queries ensure a distinct separation between user input and SQL code. 2. Validate and clean inputs: Use expected formats and constraints to validate user input, and clean inputs to get rid of characters that may be interpreted as SQL code. 3. Follow the least privilege principle: Limit the permissions for database accounts used by applications and services to only what is required for their functionality. This limits the system's vulnerability to SQL injection attacks. 4) Set Web Application Firewalls (WAF) By setting up WAFs, common threats and attacks from HTTP/S traffic like SQL injections can be identified and blocked before they ever reach your application.

Honestly, I think running a paid-to-post forum is a financial burden for the owner. How can you sustain it and pay all the members? What if the advertising money isn’t generating enough income to pay the users? Unless there are multiple streams of revenue coming in for the forum, it’s hard to sustain.

Contests can help boast an online community and bring in a lot of new members. Especially if there’s some good prizes involved. So, as a community owner, do you ever run contests on your forum? What type of prizes did they entail?

What are your main SEO tactics? What helps you rank your websites quickly on search engines? Personally, I find that building backlinks on social media and obtaining them from related websites in my niche are effective strategies. Additionally, I focus on creating unique content that sets my websites apart from others in the same niche. This not only gives me an edge in SEO but also attracts links through word of mouth, as my users promote my pages on platforms like Reddit and Tumblr. Ensuring that each page has its own unique title, meta description, and alt tags for images is another crucial tactic that I employ. This attention to detail helps me achieve better rankings on search engines. What are some of your SEO tactics? What has worked well for you?

I’m not much of a coder either. I can code a few things, but that’s about it. I’ma try to learn to do more soon.

I’m feeling pretty good today. 😁

I use Spotify to listen to music and it’s my go streaming provider. However, I use amazon prime, peacook and Paramount+ for movies & Tv shows. What about you? What streaming providers do you use?

I also started when I was young, but Smf was the first forum software that I used. I was about 15 or 16 when I started my first forum. I used SMF for a while before I made the switch to vBulletin.

Flip it. 🤣

I’ve purchased a forum in the past, but I’ve never sold one. I don’t plan on ever selling anything that I own as I consider them to be my baby.

I highly recommend working with [mention=94]Heatman[/mention]. He does quality work.

When I was younger, I would play games all night, but it’s something that I don’t do anymore.

Apple Inc. is set to introduce a new app called Passwords next week, designed to simplify logging into websites and software for customers, according to sources familiar with the matter. The app will be part of iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and macOS 15, the upcoming major updates to Apple's iPhone, iPad, and Mac operating systems. These sources, who requested anonymity as the initiative hasn't been publicly announced, stated that Passwords will be revealed on June 10 at Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference. Powered by iCloud Keychain, an existing Apple service that syncs passwords and account information across devices, the new app will now generate and track passwords in a dedicated interface. Previously, this functionality was embedded within the settings app or appeared during login processes. By launching Passwords as a standalone app, Apple aims to encourage the use of secure passwords and enhance device privacy. This move also increases competition with third-party password managers like 1Password and LastPass, with Apple offering the ability to import passwords from these rival services. A representative for Apple, based in Cupertino, California, declined to comment. The Passwords app will feature a list of user logins organized into categories such as accounts, Wi-Fi networks, and Passkeys—Apple's promoted password replacement leveraging Face ID and Touch ID. Like other password managers, the app will autofill login data for websites and apps. Additionally, the software will be compatible with the Vision Pro headset and Windows computers, and it will support verification codes, functioning similarly to an authentication app like Google Authenticator.
