Twitch because it has helped me grow my forum more than the others.

Welcome back [mention=7]Bryn[/mention]

I would rather own a business that maintains itself with sustainable growth. It's been a goal of mine for awhile, but I've been working hard towards that goal for the last year.

I originally started with MyBB and switched to Xenforo. I need a mobile friendly forum which is ultimately the reason I switched softwares, and more features which I like on Xenforo.

Can you put my forum https://poker.community in the community spotlight please?

If they're not trying to recruit members, and only post links if it relates to a post. I don't mind my competition participating on my forum. If their sole purpose is to advertise they will be banned.

I sticky all important threads that i think are helpful for my community. I have a couple threads stickied by normal members on my forum.

It's not needed, but it can get more returning users if your members want to chat about topics not related to the main sections.

Our daily games, leaderboards, monthly freeroll. There is honestly a lot of unique things in my community. I enjoy expanding my forum with unique ideas.

That was lightning fast! Congrats [mention=1]Cedric[/mention] on the 15k post milestone!

I read most the posts, not all. I mostly focus on the ones in my main sections.

New background uploaded to our theme, and updated StockPoker trophies for our leaderboard winners. More info: https://poker.community/threads/new-background-on-poker-community-forum-and-new-updated-stockpoker-leaderboard-trophies.1539/

Patience, dedication, and a daily effort to grow the community. Join all admin forums, post exchanges, and build backlinks using signatures. Promote on social media, and more.

I've used Stack Overflow when I needed to learn how to do something with my website. It's a good site for a lot of questions/answers related to programming.

Paid software requires less work, because the functionality is better on paid forum softwares. I wouldn't go the free route again if I started a new community.

I always comment/engage if I have anything of value to add to the posts. I try to have a good balance/ratio with how much I post, and posts by my members.

Smoke weed, and eat munchies.

I expect my moderators to keep an active presence, and have no history of shady business.

I like to save money, but I don't mind paying for a good service.

Welcome [mention=462]nextgen[/mention] to Administrata.

I rather have real discussions with actual members on my forum. I'm sure Google prefers that too, and I don't want my forum to get penalized for AI content.

I prefer doing SEO on my own. It's useful to have a background in SEO if you manage sites, and I'm not shy to ask [mention=5]Cpvr[/mention] for pointers ;)
