Growth What are some effective ways to learn how to create a community?
That book sounds interesting, I think some of those points have been posted on webmaster sites like Administrata though. But having a tangible book to go back and reference without having to move between tabs on a browser might make things easier for those who are wanting to learn some good tips...- Ravenfreak

Theme Parks
I used to enjoy going to Six Flags St. Louis as a kid. Now I am not really a fan of roller coasters, I'm afraid of heights and being a bigger guy I probably can't fit on roller coasters much anymore anyways.- Ravenfreak

Trump Closes USAID
You and me both, we're slowly turning into a fascist country. I get wanting to help our country out of course, but there's so many things he's messing up here along with his stupid Agenda 47 and even though he isn't behind Project 2025, it's still coming into effect. I can't wait for these next...- Ravenfreak

General Are forums outdated now? Do they still work well for getting feedback and providing answers?
Forums are much better for finding answers to questions. They're way more organized than any other platform, chances are if you're looking for a in depth answer to your question you're going to find it on a forum. Reddit is okay, but it's still not as organized as your traditional forum.- Ravenfreak

Community Chat Thread
Good evening everyone! It's not my Friday yet, tomorrow is so I have one more day of work then I'm off. Anyone going to watch the Super Bowl this weekend or have a party? I might watch it to see the commercials and I believe a new Mountain Dew flavor is going to drop that day too so they'll...- Ravenfreak

Engagement What’s the future of online communities?
I'm thinking we're going to see a rise of self hosted communities soon. Platforms like Reddit and Facebook are censoring certain content now, and I'm hoping more people will open their eyes and realize that their communities hosted on these platforms can be taken down in any moment in time...- Ravenfreak

EVGA closes its official forums and transitions to Reddit
Well that's depressing. Reddit is fine, but forums are so much better since they're more organized. But since they dropped out of the GPU business, maybe it was just easier and cheaper for the company to move from a self hosted forum to a subreddit where they don't have to pay a penny to keep...- Ravenfreak

Growth Should you continue to add content or step back at one point?
I think admins should continue to add to the discussions on their forums, but sometimes life does get in the way and you do need to step back. Also when you feel burnout coming it's probably best to step back for only a day or two.- Ravenfreak

Please Heart
This reminds me of the old internet for some reason. I guess it's because it's a simple website, you click and that's it really but you can have fun doing so.- Ravenfreak

Conflicts Mass Spamming
I only dealt with really annoying spammers on Proboards, they come flooding in and you need to take care of them as soon as possible. I've seen old established forums become abandoned and taken over by spam.- Ravenfreak

Would you sell your forum if you got a reasonable offer?
I would only sell my forums if something was going on in my life and I couldn't be an administrator anymore. Other than that no I would keep my forums.- Ravenfreak

What decade were you born in?
I was born in 1990 so right at the beginning of the 90's! I was a Sega kid growing up and still a die hard Sonic fan but it really was special back in the day being a 4 year old watching Sonic run across the screen. Also seeing that switch from 2D to 3D games was really something! I also...- Ravenfreak

Marketing Is it fair to charge for exclusive content?
I think it's fair if you've got certain content like themes or graphics. As for knowledge, I suppose it depends on what you're sharing but I think it should be free. Maybe keep it to where only members can view certain content, but don't outright hide it behind a paywall.- Ravenfreak

Would you rather buy or build a community?
I personally would love to start from scratch. There's nothing wrong with purchasing a well established forum, but something about building my own community from the ground up just feels more rewarding.- Ravenfreak

Ethics Should members have the right to delete their post?
I usually don't allow members to delete their posts, if they want a thread or post deleted they just report the post and I delete it myself. I'm afraid members might abuse the delete button if they're allowed to delete their own posts.- Ravenfreak
