Letting staff go - How and when should you do it?
Since I started my forum a little over a year ago. I removed a moderator from my team, because they never told me they were a former moderator with one of my partners, and they made a mistake hustling the owner out of money. I removed him as soon as I found out.

Is it best to have a website along side your forum?
I have two forums that provide links to each other, both are in the same niche, but different. If you have a second site, it doesn't necessarily mean you'll get more members. Everything you can do to boost your forum, helps.

It would suck if Elon managed to, and merged it with Twitter/X.

Forum Competition/Contest Prizes
Cash prizes, but I don't think forum contests work well unless you already have a established community.

Paid or Free Theme
It depends. I don't mind paying for a theme if it suits my needs, but I do prefer free themes. I also like to customize themes to make them fit better on my site.

Are you worried you don't get enough registrations?
Registrations, no. It's actually easy for me to get sign ups in my niche, but members that regularly contribute posts is more difficult.

Has a forum ever spawned from your forum?
I never had that happen with a forum, but I had that happen with a Facebook group, because of one of my staff members that I removed. I crushed that group, it no longer exists.
-
Have you ever lost a backup for your forum and started over?
I try to make sure I always have backups. It's extremely important, especially if your site has a ton of content/members. I have lost my site in the past due to not taking regular backups, I'll never let it happen again. Has it happened to you?
-
What keeps you going as a forum owner or admin?
Potential, and my site/forum is one of my dream projects.
-
So, how do you choose a community platform?
It was a easy choice for me with Xenforo. It has everything built-in that I wanted for my communities.

Rebranding and Merging: The Hot Trend in Communities?
I never said everyone, but I won't go back and forth here. Good luck with your merges. I'm not hating. I do wish you success, but I don't see how merging smaller communities helps, and I stand on that.
