Growth Is social media management worth paying for or should you do it yourself?
I think it may be worth hiring someone to manage your social media accounts if your site is large and you need to focus on the website itself. It'd would be overwhelming if you had to manage a large site and try to manage your social media accounts.- Ravenfreak

Engagement facebook community
I have over 1,000 members in a group on Facebook but I haven't used the platform in over a month. I have way too many friends on Facebook too, I have over 500 because I added a bunch of people back in the day to play Mafia Wars. xD- Ravenfreak

Why must I always fall for stupid things
If you've been scammed once, you're usually placed on a list and it's shared with other scammers. That's how they're able to target people multiple times under different accounts. I watch channels like Kitboga and Social Catfish, but Kit usually deals with phone scams and Social Catfish deals...- Ravenfreak

General Biggest forum challenge to date
Finding the motivation to come up with new posts and keep things running has always been my biggest challenge when owning forums. I'd like to think I'm doing a bit better at this, but I know I can do better with posting new content on my forums. I think I get overwhelmed at times and get cold...- Ravenfreak

Growth Places on Reddit that you can advertise your forum
Yeah definitely reach out to mods before posting links, I reached out to the mods on r/gex to see if I could share a link to my forum and they were okay with it. Good luck! You might have better luck in the GTA sub or Battlefield sub than the main gaming subs but it doesn't hurt to reach out...- Ravenfreak

Digg is returning thanks to Digg and Reddit co-founders Kevin Rose and Alexis Ohanian
I never used Digg before, it pretty much died I think before I got even interested in Reddit. Though if they're going to rely on AI for moderation, you can forget about me joining the website. There's going to be issues left and right with the moderation if they rely on AI. I guess they really...- Ravenfreak

Growth Places on Reddit that you can advertise your forum
Trust me bro, there's a subreddit for pretty much everything. You've got a gaming forum which there's numerous subs catered to gaming. There is r/gaming, r/videogames, r/retrogaming, and not to mention the subs that are for specific games like r/battlefield, r/gta etc. If you have good karma...- Ravenfreak

Design Which software has the best default style?
Simple Machines has the best default theme IMO. It looks very professional, and not outdated like most free forum scripts. Heck it's miles better looking than Xenforo's default theme too!- Ravenfreak

Do you manage your website on mobile or desktop?
I only manage my websites on my desktop. It's too difficult to navigate things on my phone, and my desktop can handle multitasking a heck of a lot better than my Moto G 5G.- Ravenfreak

Article How (Not) to Run a Community
I believe these are the reasons why forums end up being abandoned too quickly. Some people expect others to come flocking to their forum, even if it doesn't have any posts on it! Also anyone running a community thinking it's all about them shouldn't bother running a community, I wouldn't want to...- Ravenfreak

General What goes on behind-the-scenes on your forum?
I have a staff section on pretty much all my forums except RPG Haven. On RPG Haven I have a hidden lounge for members who make over 500 posts, which I suspect will probably take a bit for someone to eventually unlock that section. I also have a few other hidden sub forums that get unlocked after...- Ravenfreak

Guide 10 Free Tools to Check Any Website's Traffic
Thank you for this list! I knew of a few of them but like Cedric, I didn't know about most of them! I typically just check Google Analytics but now I'm going to check out the other websites you've listed as well. Though isn't Alexa defunct now? Amazon owns the rights but the old weblink goes to...- Ravenfreak

Would you rather have a job or run a business?
I would rather have my own job than run my own business. While it may seem cool on paper to be able to work on your own terms, there's a lot more than just that when it comes to owning a business. You need to be responsible and you have to oblige by federal laws and regulations especially if...- Ravenfreak

Engagement What strategies do you use to celebrate community milestones?
I believe giving out products or services is the best way to celebrate a huge milestone. Give back to your community, since they gave their time to make your community thrive. Also keeping that momentum going by offering other perks in the future can help keep your members coming back for more.- Ravenfreak
