General What platforms have you left for another?
I left Xenforo to use Woltlab suite, I didn't have to pay extra for the CMS that comes with Woltlab and it's a bit cheaper than Xenforo. I've also left phpBB to go with vBullein recently because I needed the extra plugins like a group system and blog system for one of my communities. In the past...- Ravenfreak

Engagement How often does your forum get a new member?
My forums unfortunately don't seem to get too many new members signing up. Occasionally I'll see a new face. I'm guessing once the Gex Trilogy finally comes out, this will change a bit for Gex Forums. As for my other ones, I still need to get one back up and running again and I can see it...- Ravenfreak

Foundation Staff Age Requirements
Yeah I usually only hire people over 18, I wouldn't want to hire a underaged person. It would be weird working alongside young teenagers when I'm 34 years old and I feel that there's some legal issues with that. Also even though 18 year olds aren't fully mature, they're much more mature than a...- Ravenfreak

Strategy Hard-working forum owners
I feel that this is the best way to get your community to grow and keep growing! I continue to do this though I need to do it more often than I do. I used to give up right away when working on forums when I was younger since I wouldn't give it time to grow and I also didn't know how to promote...- Ravenfreak

Cartoons
I love cartoons! Teen Titans is still the number one cartoon though, nothing beats it! I also love Steven Universe, King of The Hill, Young Justice and the Cleveland Show just to name a few. I also watch some anime with My Hero Academia being my favorite one.- Ravenfreak

General What's your take on members without an avatar?
I don't mind if my members don't use avatars. I always use an avatar on every forum I join though, if I don't have one it's probably because I forgot to upload one and just wanted to go straight to posting on the community.- Ravenfreak

Advice Is it best to have a website along side your forum?
Which forum software are you using? If you're using Xenforo, they have a pages plugin you can get where you can write articles about the Wild or write opinion articles about how the team did in past seasons. Though I would mainly focus on your community first and then once you gain traction...- Ravenfreak

Nicknames now allowed on Facebook
I like how all these social media platforms keep doing things that you can already do on forums. It's almost like forums actually work and these social media platforms have to imitate a forum! I'm hoping these platforms will implode on themselves soon.- Ravenfreak

Moderation Could you do it by yourself?
If my forum got too big to the point where I couldn't be a moderator and Admin, I would definitely need more hands! As for being the sole staff I've done this on a few different forums. Right now I'm the only staff on a few of my forums, there's only two where I have additional staff. So the...- Ravenfreak

Leadership Have you ever revived a dead forum?
I have revived an old forum based around the game Mighty No. 9, but even though I sent out a mass email no one came back. :\ To be fair, the game kept getting delayed and when it did come out it wasn't as good as it could have been. I had over 100 members, close to 200 and it was pretty active...- Ravenfreak

How many/what domain names do you own?
I own about 6 or 7 I believe. I have to take a look again lol. Some are being used on forums I haven't done much with, one is used on a NSFW forum that I don't really want to go into details on it, and some I haven't used in a while. I should probably look into selling some of them.- Ravenfreak

Growth What metrics do you use to track your community's growth?
I mainly just use Google analytics, when I used Xenforo I used it's built in tools to see how many new people joined as well as other stats. I also use Google Search Console to see how my sites are doing SEO wise.- Ravenfreak
