General How many platforms have you used? Why did you leave them?
My own. Considered switching from my own to MyBB/phpBB. I can't recall exactly which two they were, but I believe those, as they were the only free options that I could one-click install. However, after playing around with them for far too long, I reconsidered my position on an external...- frm

Foundation Staff Age Requirements
It would suck if the US followed suit with the "recent" age change on smoking from 18 to 21. Your post reminded me of that. Oh, how many times would I have gotten in trouble for "underage smoking"? Got my one-off underage drinking write-up to go under the table, and "out back" instead, which...- frm

Rebranding and Merging: The Hot Trend in Communities?
You're still arguing the same point. Let it go. Your main counter-point is an appeal to emotion as to why some (minuscule in the scope of things) merge. But, you're arguing for the minority, stating that it's insulting not to understand that. I understand it quite well, and to be Frank, I...- frm

Team Building Chain of Command Styles
For a professional forum, until it breaks out and creates a sub-culture of its own, I would stick with the default titles of Administrator and Moderator. For a niche community, I would start with something unique and then ask for community input later to create engagement and to solidify the...- frm

Rebranding and Merging: The Hot Trend in Communities?
The basis of your argument here was an appeal to emotion, especially when this is a rare circumstance. It's as simple as that.- frm

How much do you pay for internet subscription monthly?
My base 1G internet is included in my cellphone plans. In total, for 3 phones, and home internet, it's about $220. But we save on home internet by doing that for about $70 to $60, I can't recall how much it is alone since it's a bundle (if we drop home internet, cellphones would go up by like...- frm

Foundation Staff Age Requirements
I'm not playing around and taking this as a serious business venture. My staff will have to be 14 years of age or older, with parental consent if under 18, as they will be W-2 or 1099 employees. They will serve a broader role than just a moderator on a single forum, and contribute to the entire...- frm

General What's your take on members without an avatar?
Not a stronger connection, but I recognize people by their avatars more than their usernames. That was how I was able to spot Paul not being on XenForo's forum almost immediately. I should upload my XF one here now that I think about it.- frm

Rebranding and Merging: The Hot Trend in Communities?
The only way I see it helping is if they are in the same niche and don't have a membership base with a ven diagram like this, which has been the case with the most recent mergers that I've witnessed.- frm

Rebranding and Merging: The Hot Trend in Communities?
You're using an emotional argument and applying it broadly to all mergers, despite it being relevant only in uncommon cases. The fact is, mergers happening within the past 3 months have, for the most part, been all small communities, and the number of mergers that have occurred in this fashion...- frm
