So, what's your favorite aspect of running an online community? Is it the fact that you're building an outlet and resource that people will enjoy? Also, the fact that you’re meeting new people on your community and you're allowed to talk about different things, share view points, or what's your favorite aspect?

It's human management I love so much with forum management. It's not just the forum you're managing when you have members who are actively involved in your forum. If you don't manage them right, they might all walk away.

I enjoy not only offering fun and engaging content for other people to enjoy, I also love being able to have full control of my community. I can install cool themes to make it stand out, rearrange the layout of the community to make it easier to navigate, and I don't have to worry about my content being removed.

This is exactly the way it feels being the owner who knows how to run things. This is the fastest way to imprint the identity you want your community to be represented with.

Knowing coding, my favorite aspect of running an online community is building new features and modifying the forum to the greatest of lengths with coding.

This is exactly the truth. To be able to manage the forum properly is very good as long as the humans posting or visiting your forum are happy as well. It is a side of forum management that is crucial to look at.

The moment you fail in successfully managing the members who are on your community posting daily is the day your community is going to start crashing and that will be very difficult for you to revive the downfall.

When it comes to running an online community, it's not just about owning the community but it's being able to offer a place for people to come and discuss what matters to them without any issues, a place they feel safe sharing their opinions and discussing what matters most to them.

My favourite aspect of running an online forum (when I did) was building a community and creating a space where like-minded people could connect, share knowledge, and support each other. I also really enjoyed seeing all the valuable user generated content, watching my members contribute to discussions and hearing their insights. Another thing I enjoyed was the networking and industry connections because I got to meet a lot of cool people and I found a lot of awesome forums. Seeing the engagement and loyalty with my members was also an amazing thing to see.

 

All together there were many aspects of running a forum that were favourite because I do enjoy being a part of a community.

For me, it's all the lovely people I meet and make friends with - and in a much cosier community environment than I'll ever find on social media!

 

Learning new things, from people who are passionate about the subjects they're talking about, is another aspect I enjoy.

I agree with you, it is amazing to meet new lovely people and make friends, it's also amazing to learn new things about people and things.

I really like seeing a brand-new community get that first real member that joined on their own and visits every day to post content. I like that so much that it is usually the reason I love making a brand-new community.

 

But creating a bunch of communities leads to hard work and being overwhelmed, LOL.

 

So, I'm trying to change it up to just logging into a community you have established and seeing new posts and new topics by real members (not exchangers or paid posters) each time you visit.

 

I'm in it for the community.
