    Forum closure due to technical issue

    Have you ever had such a bad technical experience that you closed down a forum or website because of it? If so, tell us about it. Here's my story. I recently installed Mediawiki on my server to make my own Wiki site for an outdoor brand. I forgot to add anti-spam edits. The other day I had...

    Moderation Could you do it by yourself?

    Could you run your forum by yourself without any moderators? Or do you have to have help? Seriously consider this question. If you could never get help, could you take on the full task of running all aspects of your forum no matter how big it gets? If yes, justify your answer. If no, tell us...

    Strategy Hard-working forum owners

    Most of us who have been running forums for a long time know that growing them isn't and will never be an overnight process. It takes work. Hard work. Sometimes you have to bust your butt to make a forum work. When you do this, and it starts to all come together, how does it make you feel...

    Paid or Free Theme

    I would probably be the same except for WordPress, I like DIVI and DIVI costs money or it used to but I did the lifetime payment. But to me a WP is a bit more than just a blog, it's what my whole website is based off of. With Divi, I can get more specific with my brand.

    Case Study Can AI help forums get real members?

    I think having an AI bot on the forum would be pretty cool. Something to play games with or chat within the shoutbox. Shot box addon makers need to consider that as a feature!! But I feel like the AI needs to be clearly labeled as an AI; otherwise, you're pretty much-taking advantage of your...

    Dream Domain Names

    Do you have any dream domain names? These are domain names that are taken that you'd love to have but you know you'll never have them, mainly because you'd have to go into debt to pay for them LOL. I'm not taking about Google.com or something like that here. I'm talking about a domain name...

    General What are your top 3 best and worst (forum features)?

    Based on the forum software that you use... What top 3 features are your favorite? Why are they your favorite? What top 3 features are your least favorite or features you think are useless? Why do you think that about them? I'm very interested in seeing what you all have to say here.

    Engagement Why are you not active on your forum?

    I see a lot of forum owners who are not active on their forums. Some of them are even members of this forum. My question to them is: Why are you not active on your forum? My question to everyone is: Do you think forum owners need to always be active on their forum no matter the size or...

    Strategy Day 1 of launching your forum

    What does/did day one of launching your forum look like? You just launched your forum. What do you do on day one? Are you focusing on content creation or marketing? Maybe both? What does the first day of a forum launch look like for you?

    Have you taken any breaks from being an admin?

    I got away from forums for a few years due to my health. I never made teeth cleaning a habit as a kid. So, take that and add being a heavy coffee drinker to smoking 2 packs of cigarettes a day - needless to say, the inside of my mouth went to hell very quickly. I started getting extreme...

    When a troublesome ex-mod reapplies?

    I typically won't entertain the idea of letting them come back. You would have to do something really bad to get me to "fire" you from the team. If I do fire you, then don't expect me to trust you thereafter, There have only been a few people I've "let go" from moderator positions. All the...

    Community Chat Thread

    Yeah, it finally did after like 12-15 hours. 2008 and 2009 were bad years for Southern Illinois as well. We got thunderstorms during the ice storm the other night, it would have heavier freezing rain showers, too. Hearing thunder with ice falling is pretty sketchy LOL Glad there wasn't an...
