Horror films have always been one of my least favorite film genres. I don't get a thrill out of them like some people do.

In my case, I have mental health issues and I try not to reveal that to people IRL anymore due to being berated in the past for doing so. I think a lot of my old friendships died partly due to my mental health. I don't even bother making IRL friends anymore because I feel like I'll be judged based on my brain chemistry and not my personality.

Hi there, [mention=83]Bluezone777[/mention]! Welcome to Agora!

MDN and freeCodeCamp are pretty worthy of helping people get off the ground.

Welcome aboard, [mention=166]TechWiz18[/mention]! Hopefully, you can find your rightful place here and offer your services to those in need!

It all depends on what you want to create. If you want to create websites start with the bare-bone basics of HTML and CSS. Then later on dwell into JavaScript. I can only speak for front-end web development since that's all I've ever known.

The only theme I created by myself was imageless, considering I know nothing about web design. Coding themes, on the other hand, is a whole different subject.

I offer a light and dark theme but don't have a toggle switch between the two. I could probably create my own with my coding knowledge, but it sounds like it could require a lot of refactoring of the CSS.

Hey there, [mention=162]Sinistra[/mention]! Welcome to Agora! That's quite an impressive amount of time to be doing web design!

Howdy Sarah, glad to find you here! (y)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boomplay It has been around since 2015.

I have a single niche forum. I don't want to have a multi-niche forum because I think they can sometimes be harder to manage and users can get lost in the vast amount of topics it covers. It's more of a personal preference for me, I'm sure many people can handle multi-niche forums easily. I prefer a forum to be more streamlined and dedicated to a primary cause.

I don't think one has while we have lived here, but I think one hit a neighborhood before we lived here.

It looks interesting but it also looks like learning a whole new language. :P

It makes me wonder how many questions are asked on subreddits such as AskReddit every minute. :unsure:

That makes sense, I think the main purpose of jQuery was not only to simplify coding but to make it more browser-compatible. With the latest versions of web browsers these days and web browsers forcing updates, most Vanilla JavaScript you come across will be fully supported by your latest web browser. I primarily use jQuery just because that's what the service (Jcink) has installed that I support. I don't dabble with coding much elsewhere.

I don't mind when some content is locked behind a registration wall, but when all content is locked behind a registration wall I never bother to register. If I can't get a glimpse at what the discussions or how members treat each other are like on the board, that turns me away. All I hide behind my registration wall are the primary resources of the forum, that being codes and skins. Why do I do this you may ask? For one, it does help the registration rate increase. Unfortunately, most people who register on my forum log in once or a few times and I never see them again, but by registering I at least have something to show for how useful the resources are on the board. Also, when you own a resource board it's nice to have the user's details on file (such as email and IP address) in case ripping/copyright infringement ever occurs. I can understand "premium" sections being hidden from guests, but when people hide forums like a general discussion forum, I question why I would even want to register.

It looks like my board turned 6 years old 2 days ago.

If a friend keeps disregarding text messages I send them, I'll usually delete them as a contact. I sent a text message to my last friend and that was the end of our friendship so it seemed, he never replied and I never sent a text message back to him or him to me. I haven't had an IRL friend since that friendship ended and it doesn't bother me much because I've always been more social online than offline and friendships IRL rarely last a lifetime. Friends come and go.

When I search for questions, Google is good about leading me to places like Reddit, Quora, and Stack Overflow. Where do you see the statistics that people are asking more questions on Quora than on Reddit? When I even searched the term, "Quora" on Goolge some of the relevant results were "Quora is dead" or "Do people still use Quora?" I used Yahoo Answers a few times myself when it was around. It was a good site to find most answers to questions.

That's what gets me pumped.

I would build my own, on the front-end side at least. If I needed help on the back-end side I could probably find a few people to help me or maybe pay someone since I don't know any back-end languages.

I semi-recently was playing Construction Simulator 4 on my iPhone. I have all 4 versions purchased on my iPhone from the same developer at some point. I haven't "beat" any of the games, but I did want to give each one a shot for the different types of landscapes, vehicles, and tasks.

While I don't disagree with this sentiment, I think forums will always have loyal followers who prefer a "community" over a vastly, large network where topics, comments, and users get buried. There's a subreddit/channel/group for about any topic you can imagine, there will be those who want a "toned" down version of a social network or chat service. As mentioned in the OP, forums can often be more organized and you can also style them and organize them in whatever ways you deem convenient for your user base. I use Reddit as a means of browsing and nothing more, but when it comes to engaging, I much prefer the layout and "community" of forums. Discord I use for chit-chat and connections, valuable conversations remain on forums for me. On the other hand, I could never grow accustomed to Facebook and always ended up deleting/disabling my profile. I think Facebook is nice if you've gotten to know many people throughout your life, but I haven't done so considering my primary means of communication has been forums. Overall, I prefer forums over social networks and chat services. I don't think they're necessarily going anywhere, but they may continue to see a decline in use as social networks and chat services find new, interesting ways for people to connect.

https://youmightnotneedjquery.com/ What are your thoughts on this site? Does it explain how jQuery can be essentially obsolete and Vanilla JavaScript may be more accurate and demanding, or is jQuery still relevant in today's coding universe?
