    Why Do They Spam A Forum

    One strategy I am using is to avoid direct registration into my forums. I have put a link in the registration page to another page/or site to fill a form which is like a cart (like purchasing something) to join. Spam bots in general are not trained to fill out forms to purchase things :) I got...

    Are forum owners ignoring security?

    If you do not code, or not willing to pay to code in case the plugin is abandoned, I would recommend only to stick to official plugins.

    - Growing slow is way more firm and lasting way to go. - Growing too fast may burn you out if you are not prepared with a good team. Growing slow give you the time to build a strong team. After that, one would be ready for bigger jumps at a time to keep consistency and order within the...

    Domains Using a different TLD than the dot com for the same thing

    I see it unethical, I believe the first forum could send you a letter to stop using it if users get confused between the two sites. I would not do that. I would find another name, and always looking for the .com 99.99% of the time.

    AAF + Cloudflare

    I am still not convinced to use Cloudflare.. Maybe I don't need it at this point..

    Getting lurkers to start posting

    I don't have proven formula how to make them to start posting, but I have another one that works. I remove inactive users (this might not be a popular method, but it works for me)

    Losing motivation

    oh boy... I have been having a rough time.. Yes, motivation can fade when you are tired/stressed and sometimes life throw you low balls one after another... But here I am, I just launched a new forum lol.... Getting ready for 2026... :) If your initial purpose was strong enough, it will...

    One or multiple sources

    I like multiple sources of income. Giving more time to the most efficient ways/skills to generate the most revenue, then creating other sources/business to diversify.

    Slow Season Forum Momentum

    Sometimes you can do contests, promotions, adding new things and nothing seems to work on slow seasons. Sometimes we just have to go through it as it is. Users also have a life and they might need a break from online for one reason or another. It's just part of the game. Don't get too caught in...

    When to quit...

    I feel you! When I get into that zone, I remind myself what was the initial purpose of my forum. Then I can immediately remove any feelings of quitting. If your purpose has changed, then it's time to quit. But if not, just keep working it out. In my case, I had been disappointed many times...

    Article Dealing with Founder Burnout without Letting Your Forum Die

    Yes, I go through burnouts too. I take 2-3 days to refresh.. My forum is not a hobby, it has a purpose, so my burnouts don't last and I get back on. I rather a small forum, easy to manage and one gets better connections with the users.

    Credit System

    If it's the same credit system that in on every forum, not really. Are you offering tangible stuff for the credits? Maybe gift cards or something? If you add something different other than the regular, then yes.
