Quit worrying about new posts

[Shawn Gossman]

At what point do you quit worrying or at least worry less about creating new topics on your forum (as the admin)?

Is there are certain level of membership and activity that needs to be reached before you worry less about creating new content?

Is it more efficient to let regular members create new content and just focus your efforts on making replies?

How does everyone feel about this sort of thing?

I think we never should. Keep going, keep that anxiety factor on, forever

I don’t think we should ever stop worrying about new posts as it’s a deciding factor of our communities growth.

However, we should also focus on the traffic among other things.

As long as our communities continue to strive with new content, we’re all doing something right!

I like to write too much to quit posting new topics.

I have loads of them saved on a private board to post here. I won't be running out of ideas anytime in the next couple of years.

I do try to slow down, reply more than create new, to give others a chance to create some new ones, though.

I can keep writing for ages. That is what I am really good at.

I agree.

I like to write, and forum posts are not like blogs, where you have to have a ton of information on the topic.

It's easy to keep the forum updated on a daily basis if you need to.

Same here. It’s something that I’m naturally skilled at. I wasn’t good at writing when I was in school though.

The same for me. I started as a novice content creator and slowly improved my skills over the years.

Me either. I hated writing. I had to write so much in graduate school that I hated it then. But I never thought about blogging as writing or forum posts haha.

However, I've really grown to love writing over the past 10 years.
