Stress reliever?
I second listening to music as a stress reliever. It helps me stop overthinking and start jamming. Engaging in meaningful conversations online or helping people in subjects I'm knowledgeable in seems to help, too.

- How do you actually get people to register in 2025?
As the owner of a resource board, I put my resources behind a registration wall, and it seems I gain 30+ members a month. If I didn't put my resources behind a registration wall, I'd assume I would have half of that.- Did you use vbulletin back in the day?
I've never run a forum with the vBulletin software, but a few Yu-Gi-Oh TCG boards were the first forums I participated in, and they both used vBulletin.- Community Chat Thread
So, I made over $1000 doing DoorDash this month. 😎- What are you listening to?
- Last non-internet thing you did?
I ate at a local burger/sandwich shop, and before that, I DoorDashed.- Your Most Recent Purchase
I bought a Yu-Gi-Oh booster box on eBay for quite a hefty price, but this booster box is one of the last of its kind to contain a special rarity.- Community Chat Thread
Yeah, it's a food delivery service where you're your boss and get to pick and choose when you want to DoorDash. You get paid a base pay for each delivery from DoorDash, and the customer leaves a tip beforehand. My biggest tip since I restarted was $16. It has in-app navigation to tell you where to pick up the food from and to deliver it to.- What's the biggest online community that you've ever built from the ground up?
It was on InvisionFree, then converted to ZetaBoards: https://web.archive.org/web/20120905144548/http://bigboardsresources.com/index/ My current Jcink resource board is the second largest community I've had built from the ground up.- Are you a fan of bookmarks?
I have three bookmark folders and a standalone bookmark using Google Chrome on my desktop. I used to use bookmarks on Safari on my iPhone, but then I started using the "add to homescreen" option for the sites I wish to visit.- 10 Threads + 40 Posts for jCodes
Thanks!- Favorite author?
Always and forever J.R.R. Tolkien because the world of Middle-earth is so vast and magical, the characters have great storylines, and the destinations are magnificent! I have read The Lord of the Rings multiple times, and I have a handful of other books he or his son has written. I have three copies of The Lord of the Rings alone, the all-in-one version, the all-in-one illustrated version, and the eBook.- Community Chat Thread
Hello everyone, I've been busy lately with work, DoorDash, and family matters. I DoorDash about 6/7 days a week, and I have made $300+ every week for the past three weeks, so I think it has paid off. Today I traveled 2+ hours with my boss out of town to help another Michaels store do inventory. I'm not as active on forums as I used to be, but I still drop by daily to check on new topics and notifications I may have. Most of my online time is devoted to helping people with their Jcink boards on my board and the official support board. I haven't been attending many discussions lately. I'll see you all around, I hope you enjoy your day!- Collections
Do you collect anything? I collect Yu-Gi-Oh cards. I've been collecting them since they first hit the shelves in the USA. I sometimes thought I was done with the game and either sold some cards or gave them away, but I have a massive collection of thousands of TCG cards. My primary nostalgic collection is cards from the original TV series. My most expensive card is worth a little over $100. My holographic cards combined are worth thousands of dollars, according to an app I use to track the values. I also have a medium-sized collection of statuettes from some of my favorite films, TV shows, and games.- Your Most Recent Purchase
I had to spend $30-something to use a tax service when it used to be free. 😒 If that counts as a "purchase."- Community Chat Thread
In terms of the ending? Or did you think the entire show was unsatisfying?- What are some of your favorite forums?
For general discussions: The Coffee House For webmaster discussions: Administrata, of course! As a hobby: My Jcink resource board.- Community Chat Thread
No surprise there. Nearly everyone was disappointed with the ending because it was rushed and way beyond the original author's imagination. I loved the overall show, but I do stand by what I said about the previous point. I've seen all seasons twice.- Administrata Lottery: 25 Threads for jCodes
Don't forget to mark this as "In Progress" since all the spots have been filled. :)- Google Search Console "Change of address" help
The <head> section is where meta tags go.- DoorDashing
I've made $80+ in the past 3 days and plan to go to DoorDash for the supper run. I spent about 2 hours doing the lunch run today. $11 for the biggest tip thus far.- Google Search Console "Change of address" help
As far as I'm aware, a 301 redirect needs to be set up on the server-side end of the spectrum, and since Jcink doesn't have that access, I don't believe it's possible. When I purchased a new domain for my site, I just restarted the search console process with the new domain.- facebook community
When I did actively use Facebook, I had like 50- friends. Goes to show how few people I've befriended in my life. :unsure:- What's your favourite social media platform?
It got to the point where I no longer want anything to do with social media and recently deleted all the accounts I was aware I had. - How do you actually get people to register in 2025?
