Ask them to be more active. If not find a new staff member. I don't mind if my staff don't post a lot, but I do require them to have an active presence in my community.

Forums take a lot of dedication. I think a lot of forum owners have too many forums, and they should focus on one forum. I do have two forums, but I definitely focus on one forum more than the other.

Right now it's only me and [mention=5]Cpvr[/mention] on my staff. I need to be very cautious with who I bring on my team. Reputation is everything in the gambling niche. He does help me advertise my forum, and teaches me tricks with SEO to help me rank my site.

I'd like to claim my Valentine's gift(10 posts) for pokerwebmaster.com

Will do

I define growth by member counts, posts, and daily activity. I like to set post, and member goals I like to achieve to keep myself motivated to grow my community.

No. I banned your accounts from both my forums for spam. It's not the place to advertise your site. If that's your sole purpose, you will be removed.

I got three Valentine's gifts sent to me. I'd like to use 2 of them on poker.community please.

Mainly my forum, VPL, and admin forums.

My forum is bigger than money. I'd turn down big offers for my poker forum if I receive any in the future. I want to see my goals through, and always own my community. I also have a huge vision, and I know there is a ton of potential in my community. How about you? Would you ever sell your forum?

I update leaderboards for my forum daily. I also post on social media, talk business with partners...etc.

It's fun to start your own community, and I think it's more rewarding if you build a big board from the ground up. I'd only consider buying a forum if I had the time to manage another one.

We've updated our leaderboards, so mobile users can scroll/left right instead of player stats scrolling past the content area. If you play our daily 75 cent morning Grind, and $1.10 daily grind the top players qualify for $150 freeroll on StockPoker, and $50 freeroll on DarkSidePoker.

I've dealt with members that signed up with the sole purpose to spam they're links, and they've been banned. I never had a member do it by PM.

Grow my forums into a profitable online business. I also want my main forum to reach 20k+ posts, and 500+ members before 2026.

I currently pay less than $10 a month for my two forums.

I'm usually active. I have days where I'm stressed out, and I'm less active. I tend to overwork myself trying to reach my goals.

Neglecting the community, because they don't have time for it. I've seen new forum owners expect over night success when it doesn't happen that way.

I don't mind it. Especially with Xenforo assigning avatars with the first letter of a screen name. Members usually add an avatar once they become more involved in the community.

No. Once content is published, it's owned by the forum.

I use everything I can that allows me to share gambling related sites. Facebook, Twitter/X, and Bluesky I post on daily. I also work with streamers that promote my forum on Twitch.

My forums use a shared hosting plan. Paying for a VPS would be a waste of money at this time for me.

It's very easy to download a backup, and install a site on a new server. I've done it countless times. The owner should already be downloading regular backups. It's risky not too, you can lose all your hard work.

I started my forum as a dream project. I would never sell even if I received a big offer. I sold a Facebook group in the past in the same niche as my forum, and I learned the hard way how easy it is for a community to turn on you. I had to grind for my community back, and prove my doubters wrong. Does any of the forums you own have sentimental value to you?

I always add content to my forum EVERYDAY. If new discussions I start aren't getting replies, I stop creating threads until we get some responses, and I try to reply to more posts.
