I'm actually very surprised at some of your past moderator actions. You took action on a forum member for something that happened outside of the forum, which is a very expansive perspective of admin powers.

It's why I think it's super important for any established community to have a kind of duplicate member check. Usually these are add-ons and not core to the software, but they're critical in preventing members from making and remaking new registrations.

Admins want new members to post something, but not post too much! And to introduce themselves but to not self-advertise! And it's okay to post some links but not too many links! And to be friendly and open to asking any questions and giving any feedback but also don't you dare infringe on any...

Is BASH.zone a former site that you brought back?

Did they demonstrate ownership and growth of their past issues?

I thought this thread - appearing in October - was potentially an April Fool's joke by itself :ROFLMAO:

Oh its amazing. I'm someone who has bourgeois taste on a Walmart budget 😆, so I love picking up premium teas on sale. Harney & Sons Paris Tea, Fruity Black tea with Bergamot, 50 teabags https://a.co/d/iUwpsEA It's floral and citrus from the bergamot, and it has the fruity overtones of the...

As a general rule of thumb, I agree that private matters should be kept, well, private. However, I've also been in situations where there is more to the situation, and shuffling things under the carpet can actually lead more questions. It's important that each community leader evaluates each...

I'm a big fan of Home Goods but ... Gotta watch your budget when you shop there. It's easy to get caught up in their seasonal decor 😀

I should add that I have quite a few teas from Walmart currently in my pantry. Ginger and tumeric, a peach tea that I like to ice, an herbal tea, etc.

Amazon has quite a few choices of tea. I literally just ordered a Bergamot and Blueberry tea yesterday (I think the base is an English tea). My go to tea is green tea though for its antioxidant and health benefits.

I'm going to tweak these milestone goals (which, as a concept, I fully support. You can't run a marathon without being able to first run a mile, then two miles, then 5 miles, etc. first). You need to tweak your goals to those that you can control. One of the biggest, most consistent failures...

The way that you use your forum is as a resource directory, which reinforces my point. Your site is more of a resource site first, around which you happen to offer forums. Starting a true standalone forum solely focused on conversations and engagement is super hard.

I'm going to say something here that legacy forum admins haven't learned in over 20 years. You're probably starting your forum too early. You must have your own unique audience, your own set of followers, or your own 5 superusers who already engage with you before you should launch your...

Are you options, forex, futures?

For community managers looking to maximize their efficiency, the ability to schedule threads is a must. This is built in as a core feature to IPS.

Just curious. Why didn't you keep the branding and domain of the bigger one?

I definitely think forum admins should be opportunistic and at least be open minded to opportunities when they present, and prepare a number in their head of what they would be willing to go to but no higher (it's what I call the "no regrets" number -- youre willing to pay up to that amount, and...

I like you :) I like Shawn :) I like certain people who bring an elevated level of conversation that isn't always found in legacy admin circles
