How often do you check Google Analytics/Search Console?
Since I got to know Google Search Console more, and since I added more URLs to get indexed (such as certain threads and even forum categories), I'm now on it much more.

Do you tend to join/avoid sites that use a certain forum software?
Not a concern if you have an ad-blocker 😏

I didn't say I used it... I just said that as someone who was on an SMF forum and saw the comparisons.

What forum software are you currently running on?
My forum is on Jcink, but I did consider moving it off from there at one point... I only chose it because everybody else did so in light of the ZetaBoards/Tapatalk crisis years ago...

Since I made use of Google Search Console a while ago, barely... really because the figures to do with Performance are quite poor at the moment :confused:

Forum Promotion
The forum of all forums... I remember when it was very young, when I first joined in late 2008 :)

Do you like using subtitles?
I like watching stuff with subtitles on after the first time I watch it, so that I can understand the dialogue a bit better.

Is Publicly Shaming Rule-Breakers a Good approach?
One person I know gave a right good dressing down to one member who gave absolutely no respect to the community. He was ultimately banned afterwards.

Does your forum's theme reflect its soul?
Since I changed the skin to better reflect the advertising banner I have, pretty much so...

Hi folks
Oh hey, another person from bonnie Scotland :D Welcome! :)

What are your thoughts on Australia banning kids under 16 from social media?
I agree with the decision also, more so when the UK is following suit. Although, our case is different because the tragic suicide of Molly Rose is still in the minds of many, as a result of her being exposed to such harmful content on Instagram. However, I'm a bit concerned as to how it's going to be enforced...

mindsConnected
The forum now has 7,141 posts and 74 members. While the member count is decent, I do hope to change that as I've added a new forum section to do with technical support (find it at the bottom of the "Other Tech" category). Was an idea I thought about for a while and I hope it does me and the community good in the long run :) 👍

Closed Vs. Open Community
Just to say, a forum can be a "closed community" as such if you don't advertise it and only share the link with those you know and trust. I did that with one I had in 2015 but I later made it public... Should say that my current forum became a closed community in 2019 when I dropped public advertising of it and upon its closure months later it became a full-time Discord community.

Sacking of staff
In terms of forum management, have you ever sacked your staff for any wrongdoing? For me, yes I have but it was back when I was new to forum management (like over twenty years ago), where I sacked a moderator, whom I hired just because he wanted the job, for simply abusing the warn level system for another member. Plus he was an immature twit as well... Thankfully, I didn't need to do this in recent times.

What’s the best way to deal with negative behavior from members?
Give them a public scolding, and if I have to take it private. Increase their warn level and if they persist on being a dick, they get banned. Thankfully, I've not had to do that for years...

Yes, as requested :P Thanks again (y)

Forum/Website Reviews?
It'd be nice if this forum can have a section where members can request a review of their forum, blog or website and that any staff can give feedback on it, something that I think Forum Promotion once had years ago. There can also be an option for a quick or in-depth review. Just a thought, that's all :)

What celebrity have you lost respect for?
He wasn't meant to be respected from day one... he's always been an attention-seeker and generally an immature moron. For me, I've lost respect for Rolf Harris, but the circumstances circulating that were far more serious... (hint, Operation Yewtree)
