    Nice site. Is it new?

    Discourse Test Site

    I installed it without Docker. It is a little more work. Have to install all the dependencies first. I can run multiple sites. You can do it with a docker install too. Just need to create a container for each site. The overhead isn't bad doing it that way. I can also run regular sites on the...

    Discourse Test Site

    This is no longer a test site. I actually decided to start a general discussion forum. This is a temp domain though. I have another that I'll use.

    Is Blogging Still a Viable Way to Make Money?

    I have a personal blog that I mainly post tutorials and guides geared towards sever admins. It runs adsense. It makes more than any of my forums. I don't do anything more. I think it's because blogs tend to make more money than forums.

    Do your connections from admin forums help you when starting a new forum?

    If you post about it on the other forums you have you'll get members from there. Getting them from other admin forums works too as long as you contribute on the admin site. If a forum opens in a niche I'm familiar with and can contribute I'll usually join.

    Blogging Collective Merges with Another Admin Forum

    Good choice. Merging is definitely the choice for 2025.

    Discourse Test Site

    I went ahead and fired up a Debian 12 VM and installed Discourse. Quick look at it and I like a lot about it. I haven't used it in a few years. I had an active community on it back when it was first released. Install was what I remember. Not easy, not real hard either...

    Has your domain ever accidentally expired?

    More than 1. When I was sick I lost a few domains. I got a couple back. The important ones are gone. I have a wathc on them and if they become available they will get grabbed.

    Posting repeated topics (reply amounts)

    I will bump those threads instead of starting new. It is a good idea though.

    nodeBB - it's not for supper

    Is there a reason you went with nodebb? I would think since you have to go the docker route anyway that Discourse would be a better choice.

    nodeBB - it's not for supper

    Nice and fast. I just moved all my sites off Windows after over 20 years to Ubuntu. Last time I had servers on Linux was back in Redhat 5 days.

    Has anyone got 1 million posts yet?

    Had a very vocal core group of 300 users that posted quality thought provoking topics. They seeded the forum and it took off from there. In the end there were only like 7500 members total. 600 or more were always online at one time. Post a topic and in minutes it had 20 replies.

    Can AI help forums get real members?

    When I use AI to enhance an article on my blog it seems to get more traffic than when I don't. I don't know if I get more signups from it.

    When do you think forums were at their biggest peak?

    They sure have. Like peak oil it happened sooner than it showed. I think the peak was between 2005 and 2008. There was a slow decline after that. The younger generation were attracted to MySpace. Forums were still active with the old school forumers. Then facebook and Twitter came into play...

    Are you a forum owner that doesn't try to make money?

    I do it as a hobby. If it makes money ok if it doesn't ok too.

    Has anyone got 1 million posts yet?

    I recently sold a forum recently with 1.7 million posts. My tech support site has 1.5 million but that is because I merged 2 other sites into it. Before the merge it had just over 600K posts. My first forum took about 18 months to hit a million. When I sold it it was at 3.7 million. My first...

    Have you ever used fake forum stats?

    No. Never could understand why anyone would want to use fake users or anything else. If a forum has a friendly atmosphere it doesn't matter if they have 100 members or 100,000 members. I'll join.
