Growth Are you happy with your community's growth in 2024?

[Cedric]

As 2024 comes to a close, it’s a great time to pause and look back at how far our communities have come. Perhaps you like celebrating milestones, small wins, or just making steady progress, take a moment to appreciate the journey.

So, how do you feel about your community’s growth this year? Are you happy with what you’ve built with your members? Feeling grateful for all the connections and improvements? Or maybe there were some goals that didn’t quite go out as planned - what are you hoping to focus on next year?

Let us know about what worked, what didn’t, and what we can all take away from this year as we head into 2025!

I am quite happy with the growth of Thee Zone! We're getting closer to my main milestone of reaching 100 members. Plus I'm happy that I do have a few active members posting almost daily. I look forward to bringing more content to Thee Zone in 2025 and moving hosts so I can upgrade the forum software to the latest version.

Not very happy as we have had a lot of spammers on our forum in 2024, but hopefully we will see some progress this year. Forcasting another few thousand members for this year.

I'm satisfied with the growth of my community in 2024. My forum has grown a good amount in our first year being open, and we're growing faster then it was when I first started.

I've gained 507 new registrations, 579 new topics, and 2543 posts in 2024 alone. That is a great accomplishment for a forum of my type and I hope these stats will be even better in 2025. Here's to another year of great achievements in the forum universe!

I am happy with the growth on my tech site since I merged all the tech communities into one.

In 2025 I plan to start a new general discussion forum. I have the domain. I am trying to decide if I'm going to step out of the box and use Discourse or Invision 5. Once I work that out I'll be buying some content packages to kick start it.

I hope everyone and your communities do great in 2025.

Been ridiculous. We have been experimenting with banning the main email address domains, and that seems to be helping some.

As 2024 comes to a close, it’s a great time to pause and look back at how far our communities have come. Perhaps you like celebrating milestones, small wins, or just making steady progress, take a moment to appreciate the journey.

2024 was a tear down and rebuild, but for the better. We now have a much better stage set for 2025.
