    AMA Senkusha sneaks into the room

    Thanks! I'm looking into that. :)

    Stress reliever?

    I'll usually listen to music, or I'll switch mental tasks. One thing I enjoy doing is writing creative fiction. I can change my mood from one of frustration to one of excitement.

    General Have you ever been hacked

    Oh god, yes. I forget when exactly, 2010 maybe? My forum had grown somewhat successfully. I had lots of activity and decided that I needed additional staff to help moderate different areas of my forum. I put out a notice that I was looking for candidates, with very strict guidelines. X...

    How long do you allow for posts to be edited?

    Indefinitely. I get it that some things shouldn't probably be editable, but, I know I've gone years before realizing that I made a spelling mistake...or perhaps my opinion on something has changed. I like having the ability to edit for minor tweaks. But something that would be considered a...

    Engagement Should communities focus more on niche or general topics for growth?

    As somebody who operates a more niche forum, I think it's a good idea to have a small section of off-topic or general discussion boards for people to get to know each other better. I'm a multi-faceted person with a variety of hobbies beyond anime and role playing, although my main focus is on...

    SEO What is your main way of getting traffic to your site?

    I'm mostly relying on signature curiosity, but many of the forums and platforms I've been to really frown on self-promotion. So, I'm using simple and catchy text links, just optimistically hoping that somebody will bite. I'm not too versed in SEO and as an internet user myself, I think the...

    Engagement How do you actually get people to register in 2025?

    Ah! I finally found the original post I wanted to reply to before registering here! Organic membership friending is probably the best way to gain new members. A good ole fashioned hand shake, as it were. People are more likely to come check out something that you've built when they see that...

    Foundation What’s the first thing you do when starting a new forum?

    I've started with setting up the categories and overall board organization. This sometimes gets me into trouble though as often I'll find I've got tons of blank spaces with no content, but content that I want to feature, but I may not know enough about a given subject to create the topics on my...

    Growth What makes a forum user-friendly, and how do you measure the success?

    Oh! Actually, maybe this could be a good idea for a service you could offer: Roast My Site review. Having other sets of eyeballs judging the interactive use of a site could be very beneficial for Admins. I know that I'm particularly biased as how I want my site to look and feel, and perhaps...

    Dark Theme Fonts

    Not sure if this applies specifically here, but I just ran into this on your Content Package page (graphics)

    Article How (Not) to Run a Community

    I went searching on my own forum because this is perfect of things NOT to do. I've been running a forum on and off since 2003. I've learned a lot of things. And recently, as I've begun the restoration project of my old forum from Google, I've been reading a lot of content that I either hadn't...

    Dark Theme Fonts

    Thank you! As much as I adore the clean look of the Light theme, it does tend to hurt after a bit. That's one of the issues with having blue eyes, I guess, light sensitivity.

    Dark Theme Fonts

    Just something to keep in mind. I suffer from a very slight color blindness, and my system is configured to use the Dark Theme by default. Normally this isn't an issue, but just now I noticed the red font on a post was VERY hard for me to read. See the attached screen clipping. I'd suggest...

    How long should a forum post be?

    I've thought about mentioning a minimum "good quality" word count for a post, but it's never going to be a requirement. More like a guideline. Something for people to reach for, and maybe a mechanic put in place that rewards good behavior like that. In the past, I've had people on my forum...

    AI is killing traditional forum discussions

    As I was reading this post, my mind flashed through a Tik Tok video I saw last year? Maybe it was 2023. Anyway, this young kid, not more than probably 20, appeared to be going to work, texting on his phone, gets stopped by an armed police drone, ends up arrested. He arrives at the detention...

    Kawaii Klub

    Welcome and enjoy the show! Whatever anime you're into we love talking about it. We love it so much, that we invoke the characters and worlds and star in our own adventures using a variety of table top role playing games as our guide. Don't fret about spoilers, most of our anime is old enough...

    How long should a forum post be?

    Personally, I think one paragraph is adequate for a good lengthy reply post. However, if you're starting a new topic, I'd say shoot for at least three good paragraphs, an introduction, some supporting meat, and a conclusion (question). Each paragraphs should probably average about 45 words...

    Strategy Is Discord killing your forum growth—or helping it?

    Discord, much like the older technology of Shout Boxes, I've found take away from people posting content on the forum. I've got a Discord, but it's dead. I have one friend who prefers to use Discord, and nothing else. We chat there occasionally. (He used to be a member of my old forum, like...
