    Leaving Spam on your forum: yay or nay?

    I delete as soon as I see it although not much gets past the Invision built in spam system. I see a popular admin forum that seems to like the spam they get. I see more spam posts in the new posts. I guess content is content even if it is spam.

    Is Strict Moderation Killing Forums or Keeping Them Alive?

    Algorithm. Software grades each user by post quality and promotes to moderator when they meet a certain score.

    Is Traditional Forum Software Dying?

    That's a problem. If they don't change they will die. The group they target is getting smaller. At some point they will be gone. Some of that old group have already moved on knowing the software they use will never change. Sad really.

    Join a lot of forums?

    I have no problem with that. Sometimes a user will sign up and remain dormant for a few months. Then something triggers them to come back.

    Is Strict Moderation Killing Forums or Keeping Them Alive?

    What's interesting is with modern scripts the moderation is built into it in what they call a trust system. When I was first introduced to it on my Discourse site I didn't think it would work. It does. In fact, on most Discourse powered sites, that' how moderation works. The system is simple. A...

    Is Traditional Forum Software Dying?

    Yes the platforum is old and dated. LIke anything else if you don't change you are left behind. The loyal users for those scripts are a small group of people and getting smaller all the time. They want to you to beleive that forums are fine like they are. In reality the opposite is true. Forums...

    The Rise and Fall of Forums: Can They Compete with Social Media in 2024?

    Forums will never be what they were. They can still be a haven for the people that get disgruntled with social media. That number is growing daily. I shutdown my accounts almost 2 years ago. Got tired of the spam and mindless drivel in my timeline. Don't get that with forums.

    Not Safe For Work Content

    I have a section that is password protected on some sites. On others, like my tech sites, it's not allowed.

    Is your forum a hobby or a business?

    It's a hobby now. It used to be a good source of income.

    F*** You!

    My response would be the same either way. I would be polite and to the point. Best way to handle those situations is to remain calm and think about what you say before you say it.

    Been an active participant in a few. Back in the day there were 2 visual basic programming forums that Microsoft endorsed. Mine and Jon the creator of vbulletin. Mine was more professional and was know for the place to go for solid help. Johns was more laid back. They had an off topic forum. we...

    Join a lot of forums?

    I use Adguard ad blocker so I never see any ads. I know a few sites use those ads. I am guilty of it myself. I didn't like them. Used to leave a site as soon as one popped up. They bring in a lot of money so I turned them on. Don't know why they make money they just do. I turned them on at...

    When do you tell others about your new forum?

    I generally get some content in it before I promote it. Try to build it then open it. I'm in the process of doing this now. I have to create the software for it. This is something I haven't done in years. My C# and .Net skills are a bit rusty so it's taking a while.

    Promoting a Forum on Pinterest

    That's how I feel about it. I had a good debate about social media promotion a few years back. I did an experiment. I posted daily on Twitter and Facebook and dropped a link to the thread about it on my forum. Seconds after posting the online users would so crazy. Minutes later back to normal...

    Adopting Ideas from Other Forums

    Looking back at the old Admin Addict, I have it running on localhost to see the exact date, first Community of the Month was July 2007. While there may have been some done before they were not well known or on what were the main forum admin sites. TAZ, Admin Addict and Admin Extra were the...

    Adopting Ideas from Other Forums

    Forum of the month started with Admin Addict. They were the first to do it. In fact there was a whole category dedicated to it. While AA is no more Admin Talk is. That's were all of AA went when I combined the 2 sites when I owned them.
