  1. I would like to see a Pokemon movie that was based on the main series games and not Detective Pikachu. I like Detective Pikachu of course, but to see a live action film about one of the main series games would be even better. Heck even if it was based around the anime and we got to see Ash and Pikachu again one last time but in a live action film would be amazing.
  2. Yes I am currently doing a post exchange with another forum right now. I should look into doing a bit more though, it really helps not only you out but other forum owners as well! I've done daily in the past, as well as weekly but with my schedule weekly is the best for me. I also don't mind doing one time exchanges, but weekly/daily work out better for both websites.

    It depends on the day of the week, if it's a weekday I tend to only get about 6 hours of sleep. However, on the weekends I tend to get about 8 to 9 hours of sleep, because I can sleep in. I also tend to go to sleep a bit later on weekends too, and I sleep until around 8:30 or 9.
  4. I've used both Wordpress and Joomla, and I prefer Joomla. I find it easier to navigate the ACP to add whatever plugins you need, and it's easy to figure out how to publish articles. I also just generally like the look and feel of Joomla! over Wordpress. It's just not as popular as Wordpress, but I think it's more popular than other software like Drupal.
  5. The last show I watched was Superstore, my wife and I have been rewatching the series again. We're on Season 5 right now, we've been watching it via Hulu. As someone who worked for Walmart, it does a good job portraying how it's like to work there. Plus it takes place in St. Louis, which I live 45 minutes away from.

    What's up [mention=6]Cory[/mention] great seeing you here bro! Hope you enjoy your stay here at Agora!
  7. I enjoy not only offering fun and engaging content for other people to enjoy, I also love being able to have full control of my community. I can install cool themes to make it stand out, rearrange the layout of the community to make it easier to navigate, and I don't have to worry about my content being removed.
  8. Now I've started playing Digimon World 3, this time I'm doing a challenge playthrough. I'm only going to use my rookie Digimon and I'm going to see if I can beat the game. I just took on Master Tyrannomon and now I'm grinding before I take on the Seiryu leader. I started with the Maniac Pak to make it more difficult. My team consists of Kumamon at level 11, Patamon at level 12, and Guilmon at level 11.
  9. I've never ran a contest on any of my communities before. I've thought about it in the past, but it just never happened. If I ever did get around to having a contest, the prizes would be most likely steam codes. I was going to host a challenge contest on VG Challenges when it was still around. (It technically is still around as Thee Zone.)

    I graduated high school and did go to college for a few years afterwards, but dropped out. I didn't even really know what I wanted to go to school for, I put down graphic design but I'm not an artist and I'm not sure why I put that down lol. I program sometimes, and I'm all self taught. I can't really code things from scratch, I'm better at modifying existing code.
  11. I'm definitely more of a night person myself. I don't really like getting up super early, and it takes me a bit to wake up once I'm up and about for the day. This is especially true during the week, having to get up early for work isn't fun. However I don't think I could work during night shift.
  12. I think experience helps more than anything. A 13 year old who makes their first forum will probably mess up, but they can use this as a learning opportunity. Over time, they can get a feel for how to run a forum and eventually have a successful forum at a different age.
  13. I've never purchased nor sold a website before. I haven't really thought about selling any of my current ones, but I feel if I didn't have enough time to run them I would at least give someone else a chance to purchase them and run them. I would assume if the website was old and had plenty of content or generally lots of backlinks as well as quality content then you could sell it to the right person for a great price.

    I currently have a prebuilt gaming PC that I got from Amazon over a year ago. It's a Acer Nitro and I spent about $700 for it. I haven't had an issue with it so far, it runs games pretty decently. I also have a couple gaming laptops but one needs a new sound board in it as well as a new operating system and the other one is still running fine but I need to clean it out since the fans were rattling a bit last time I used it.

    When I was a kid, I would stay up all night playing video games during the summer. These days I don't think I could do that, I wouldn't want to mess up my sleep schedule over the week plus I have a feeling I'd fall asleep in the middle of gaming lol.
  16. I think these days most developers don't really care about the quality of the games they're releasing, they only want money. Back in the day devs took pride in the games they made, and we would get amazing games. I know there's some amazing games that still come out, but I feel that there were fewer shovelware titles prior to the Wii days and less terrible games were being released. Of course every single game console has it's share of bad games, but they didn't really come out too often.
  17. I check the weather every day before work during the summertime to see how miserable the day will be lol. Seriously though, my job is fine during the cooler months but during summer its brutal since I work in a non climate controlled factory and when it's hot outside, it's hotter inside the building.
  18. I've tried earning money from one of my forums, but I feel that it doesn't get enough activity for me to earn anything on it. I feel that you can get better ad revenue from a blog rather than a forum these days, unless you have a unique forum. Even then it can be difficult to get approved for services like Ad sense.
  19. I own a few different forums as well as a Facebook group, Discord server (though it's extremely dead and I don't really see myself doing much with it...), and a Guilded server. I also own a Sonic the Hedgehog blog as well. It may get a bit overwhelming to keep track of every thing for some people, but as long as you've got a schedule to keep track of everything you should be able to keep up with every site.

    These are all very helpful tips! I've been stuck numerous times in life, but worked up the courage to get past it and make my life better. For example, when I was stuck at Walmart I thought I couldn't make it out. However, I decided to quit and look for a much better job. I felt so relieved once I finally got out of that toxic work environment and got a better paying job as well as a much better job in general. You need to step out of your comfort zone for anything in life if you want to succeed.
  21. I'm not a fan of this approach. I like to browse the community as a guest before I join to get a feel for what the community stands for and what they're talking about. There's been countless times where I was interested in a forum only to be disappointed that guests couldn't view anything. However there are a few hidden sections on a few of my forums that only a certain group can see, which is fine since they're usually sections for more taboo discussions and not everyone wants to partake in those discussions.
  22. I know survey websites can be difficult to earn money. However, there's one particular one called Idle-Empire that is amazing. I often get good surveys and good payouts on the surveys, I recently received my first crypto via Idle-Empire the other day. I never had this much luck with other survey sites, but other people claim that Swagbucks is pretty decent. I would stay away from Inbox Dollars though, that was the original site I joined and I never could pay out and I lost all the credits I earned because I forgot to log in. Do you earn money taking surveys?
  23. Horror films are my favorite genre of films. I just recently watched a couple thriller/horror films the other day on Netflix. They're Creep and Creep 2, I highly recommend them to any horror fan. Pet Sematary is my favorite horror film of all time though, the original 1989 version. The remake was okay, but it could have been better.
  24. It really depends on the niche of the forum. If you're opening up a webmaster or promotional forum, you'll need a few staff members when you first open the forum especially if you're offering services. As for any other niche, I feel like you need maybe at least one other staff member when you're first starting out, but in most cases I don't hire anyone else until my forum grows.

    I live in Missouri, I've lived here my entire life. I used to live near Ferguson, but moved to another city which is about 30 minutes away from Ferguson in 1998. I live in St. Charles County, I don't really want to give away the name of the city I live in. :P
