    Feedback Dealing with "rude" feedback

    How do you deal with feedback, whether it's on your forum or posted externally (perhaps a review on a topsite or on another forum thread), that is potentially rude or insensitive about your community, or individual staff members/yourself? Are you the kind of admin to try and post a defence...

    The Victory of Russia

    So, rather upsettingly for those of us living in Europe who enjoy relative peace and democracy, it looks like Trump has fully flown the cuckoo nest and gone completely bonkers, and has effectively just green-lit Russia to pulverise Ukraine into nothingness. Unfortunately, we all know that it's...

    Engagement What’s the role of gamification in building member engagement?

    Referring to "gamification", I mean adding extra things to your forum beyond just the discussions - things like interactive games, plugins that encourage interaction (I'm thinking points plugins that allow stealing/gambling/investments), or, in my own case with an old community I used to run, an...

    Trump Closes USAID

    BBC News - What is US AID and why is Trump closing it down? Just been watching my regular dose of news and seen this. Trump has done many things since his inauguration, many that many Americans agree with, many that many in the world agree with in fact. - This has to be one of the worst...

    Any guitarists at Administrata?!

    Good afternoon Administrata! Do we have any guitarists in the house?! I am a relatively new guitar player, only learned a little bit in the last few months really. At a pretty basic level, but can now play a few tunes rather badly. I am in desperate need of guitar chords for this song...

    Plugins Quality of MyBB plugins

    Back around 10 years ago, MyBB was probably the most common free forum software that was used for new forums, and I believe the main reason was the multitude of high quality plugins that were available, mostly for free (but some very good ones on a paid basis) that made MyBB forums a really...

    Heroel - A... project?

    Been struggling to find myself a coder to build my dream game, so I've finally decided I'm biting the bullet and doing it myself. Coding in PHP for now to see what I can come up with as it's probably my strongest language, even though I still don't know anymore than an average 12 year old could...

    Moderation What's your moderation style?

    So, admins and moderators of Administrata, I'd like to know - what's your moderation style? Are you a relaxed, laid-back kind of moderator who would rather send a friendly PM warning a new member of a minor rule violation, or are you the kind of moderator who takes the stance that a new member...

    Tools Social Media Presence

    Do you like to have a social media presence for your websites? When you create a new project, whether it be a forum, blog, game or just general website, do you tend to create social media accounts for the website alongside it? I used to be quite hot on creating Facebook pages and Twitter...

    Call of Duty

    Anyone played any of the recent Call of Duty games? I used to be a big fan of the series on the Xbox 360 when I was a teenager 10-15 years now (and for a short while on the Xbox One), I had a brief rekindling of my interest in the games during lockdown in 2020 and played a few games, but not...

    Marketing Google Ads Experience

    Hi Administrata I've mentioned in previous posts both here and elsewhere that I've previously had a very good experience using Google Ads on one of the large forums I used to run many years ago. While I had success both generating revenue with Google AdSense, and gaining additional visitors and...

    Moderation Merging vs locking threads

    Hello all, Thought I'd make a thread to share one of my own personal tips from many years of running a successful forum, with relatively few moderation issues in comparison and a generally happy memberbase. So, a member posts a new thread, but there's just one problem - they've posted a thread...
