Exactly. Forums back then still did well for what they had and look at them now. They were just simple scripts back then, but now they've since evolved. The thing is we're forum owners, we not social media site owners.
We cater to a different crowd. If we want those numbers, we chase them and...
This. The members nor experts run the show, the staff team run the show. If the members can't help the newbies out, then they can hit the door. Newbies are the key to keep the success of a forum going in the long term and short term. We all were newbies at one point. It destroys the entire...
I don’t see a reason as to why a forum would have a secretive admin. You want all your staff members to be known and recognized by the community. I haven’t came across any boards in years that have done this. I can see it happening if one was a server tech admin but that’s about it.

However, somedays I may spend a lot of hours on it. It all depends.
I think forums are fine. They just need actual mobile apps that are included in the app stores and are easily to install for some instead of the normal PWA apps.
Maybe some users find it too confusing to install the simple PWA apps that we have now. The SAAS forum options offer similar features...
They're great to do every once in a while to drive in new members and give back to the community. They also boast activity and can be quite helpful in creating a new flow of content.
I'm a fan of utilizing contests to help kick start a forum, or using them to engage my community further. I've...
