Leadership How long have you been managing communities?

General What metrics will you use to measure forum growth beyond just user count (e.g., engagement rates, retention, contribution patterns)?
User count is nice to track, but it doesn’t mean much if people aren’t actually engaging. For me, the real signs of growth are things like: Engagement Rate – Are members actively posting, replying, and starting discussions? A growing forum should feel alive, not just be a list of registered...- InMyOpinion

Engagement Besides posting competitions, what kind of events do you like?

Engagement Do you read all the posts on your community?
My current forum is yet to be open to the public but in the past on my previous forum I wouldI try to read as much as I can, but once a forum started growing, keeping up with every post became almost impossible.

Growth How do you decide whether to add a new section to your forum?
I definitely overthink this kind of decision because an empty sub-forum just looks bad. If I’m considering adding one, I usually ask myself: Are there already enough threads on this topic to justify it? Have members actually requested it, or is it just one person’s idea? Would it help organize...- InMyOpinion

Engagement Do You Really Need an Off Topic Section
I totally get where you're coming from. In an ideal world, a niche forum would stay focused on its main topic, but in reality, people like to build connections beyond that. An off-topic section can actually help keep the main areas cleaner because people have a designated space for casual...- InMyOpinion

Name 5 things a forum should have
A logo but that's most likely a given other than that, 1. A user friendly interface and mobile optimization (I can't tell you the amount of times I've tried to go on a forum with my phone and it was just pure chaos and frustration). 2. A search functionality. Sometimes I want to be able to see...- InMyOpinion

Ethics Are Moderation Logs Necessary for Transparency?
Hey lovely people! I’ve been thinking about how different forums handle moderation transparency, and I’m curious—are moderation logs really necessary? Some communities make them public (or at least visible to members), while others keep them private for staff only. On one hand, public mod...- InMyOpinion
