    WordPress Single server for WordPress

    How do you feel about using a single dedicated server (hosted of course) or VPS for one WordPress blog? Do you think this would increase the speed and performance of the blog versus using a server to host several different websites/blogs/forums as most people do? Have any of you done this and...

    Why should I read your blog?

    Impress me with your promotional pitch! If you have a blog, tell me why I should read it. Imagine that I am your perfect persona/avatar and you're trying to convince me to read your blog! What are you going to say to me!?

    Gallery feature usage

    Do you offer a gallery feature on your forum? A gallery would normally be an extended feature through using a plugin or something like that. It would allow forum members to create albums and upload various forms of media that you allow to be uploaded to your forum. Is this something you have...

    A Hit Blog!?

    Have you ever started a blog and it became popular quicker than you thought it would? How popular did it become in terms of shares and engagement? Was it an "overnight success" or did it take a little bit more time? Do you think it's generally easy for new blogs to have immediate success if...

    When is your best time to play games?

    Just one - Sims 4 lol. That's the only game I ever mess with. I'm not good at games where I have to do stuff to level up.

    I agree THAT would be a good core feature since policies online impact everyone.

    No Links Allowed on Big Boards

    In all honesty, I really LOVE your point, You're right! Signatures are very hard to moderate versus actual post content which is usually a click of a button. It wouldn't take much to edit a signature and just spam that crap out of the whole forum or whatever. When it's a big board with a lot...

    Allowing some profanity?

    I normally censor that word by default just in case it's used against someone. Your example of "their service was ****" to me wouldn't be that big of a deal but when it's used against someone like "you're a **** head" then it becomes a phrase of abuse. That is what I'm going for when I censor...

    Spammers are getting smarter (or at least trying)

    I have a forum all about hiking. To mitigate spam, I approve all new member requests. Had this one in my Que today. If it wasn't for the email (gave it away as a spammer), I might have considered this a legit member based on the username since. My guess is that's it's AI spam scraping the...

    Credits is an older form of gamification that still works very well!

    Moderators must post

    In most cases, forum staff is expected to be volunteer. I mean that is how it has always been traditionally. But if I was making enough money on a forum to profit (after bills), I'd consider paying staff members.
