    More than one account per member

    I don't allow multiple accounts per user. If I see a user with two accounts, I'll politely ask them which account they'd like to use. I'll either merge them together or delete the other account that they don't want to use. If it's a wife and husband, I don't have an issue with that. My forum is...

    BUMP!

    Bumping topics is perfectly fine with me. I’d rather an older topic be brought back to life than a newer topic on the same subject remade. Necroposting has never really been a big deal to me. Old content always has value.

    Forum Restructuring

    Looks good! I like a more streamlined forum myself. Nice work @Shawn Gossman

    More active off topic section?

    It is. It's like how Reddit and Digg formed. They catered to a few things, then branched out to more areas. It's the very basis of a forum. You start with a few subjects, then expand your horizons as the community grows and flourishs. It's like a garden, you plant the seed, water it, and it...

    More active off topic section?

    Honestly, as long as community bonding and relationships are forming, I don't worry about which section of my forum is getting more activity. As long as my members are engaging, having fun, and talking, that's all that matters at the end of the day. If they want to hang out, talk about coffee...

    What Are Indexing Tiers? And Why Should SEOs Care?

    What Are Indexing Tiers? And Why Should SEOs Care? Back in 2014, Prabhakar Raghavan (then VP of Search & Ads, now Google’s Chief Technologist) introduced the concept of Indexing Tiers—a core part of Google’s semantic web evolution. Later, on the Search Off the Record podcast, Google engineers...

    Upgrading PHP

    I upgrade my php version as soon as I know it’s stable enough to upgrade. I don’t blindly upgrade to a newer version without knowing it’s compatible or not.

    Is XenForo Really Worth the Price

    It's like this, is Mcdonald's worth the money? Is burger king worth the money? Is going to a new restaurant worth the money? Is buying an angus burger worth the money? Is a cup of coffee worth the money? Is a new book worth the money? The way I see it, if you like the software and the features...

    Time to write...

    It all depends on what I'm doing that particular day, if I'm busy or not. But, when I buckle down, I'll push a down a ton of content out. I don't schedule content. I don't like doing that, I'll rather push my writings out as I get them done. As long as I'm locked in, nobody can stop me, except...

    Require Real Names Instead of Usernames

    No, I won't require my users to use their real names. I've been using my alias for the past 20 years and I won't be using my real name anytime soon, so i won't force my users to do so either.

    Are Niche Forums Dead in the Age of Reddit and Facebook Groups?

    Some niches, yes. However, many niches may have subreddits set up on facebook groups and/or reddit, but these particular areas are dead in the water. These platforms are a lot bigger than ours, but we can still thrive even competiting against them. For example, there are 3-5 different...

    Was looking at buying XF site back from friend.. but

    That’s correct. If a big board is 100k posts and over 5k members, then I’m pretty sure one of us will hit it within the next few years. My forum is currently at 30k posts. It had 4k posts last May. Roflmao also has 32k+ posts. To me, as long as traffic continues to climb, new posts keep...

    Should vBulletin Be Considered a Dead Platform in 2025?

    Yes, it's a dead platform. It is not the same platform it was back in the day and their support team is very slow. If you're using vBulletin now, it's because you want to use it. It's a choice thing and decision. There isn't too many people around that actually care for vBulletin, it is not a...

    Is Shared Hosting Still a Smart Choice for Serious Forums and Blogs in 2025?

    It is a good idea to start off with a shared hosting. It's more than enough to power a small site from the beginning, especially if you're only averaging about 100-300 visits a day or so. A new blog owner owner or forum owner should not jump right into buying a VPS server or a dedicated right...

    Bringing Back AAF 1.0

    The way I see it since there wasn't a contract involved that stated you can't reuse the database, I'd bring it back. TAZ is dead in the water, it's not going anywhere anytime soon. The content would be better off coming back home to AAF. You could also revamp some of that content as well...

    Worst VPS/DS Experience?

    I haven't had any bad experiences while running a VPS or a dedicated server. Most of the companies that I've used were pretty good over the years. I've been fortunate enough that I've had reliable and quality providers.

    What's the definition of a big board these days? 100k posts?;)

    Disaster Changing Hosting Companies

    I’ve never experienced an issue transfering to another hosting provider. Generally, I’ll upload a full backup and restore the backup on the new server or I’ll transfer everything via the cpmove command.

    Is WordPress Modern?

    It’s a paid plugin, however it does offer a lot of things that others don’t all bundle together. However, most of the features it offers, like GZIP compression, page and browser caching, file optimization, CDN integration (Cloudflare or another), lazy loading can actually be done at the server...
