    Should Bloggers Share Their Income Reports or Keep Them Private?

    Do you think income sharing from bloggers is a public or private matter? You typically require the public to make money blogging in most cases. Could that automatically justify their rights to know how much money you make and how you're making it since it's basically because of them? If you...

    Are personal blogs still in? Do any of you maintain a personal blog where you write about whatever you want and not a specific niche? Are you receiving a large number of readers and comments?

    Are Blog Comments Still Worth Keeping or Just a Magnet for Spam?

    Do you accept comments on your blog? How about pingbacks and trackbacks? I've since disabled pingbacks and trackbacks, and my spam numbers have significantly dropped.

    Is Open-Source Forum Software (like phpBB or MyBB) Actually Holding Forums Back?

    Are these free, open-source forum platforms actually hindering forum software development? If the free ones closed down, that might force people to switch to advanced platforms like XenForo or Invision. That means these platforms might put even more effort into developing and modernizing their...

    Should vBulletin Be Considered a Dead Platform in 2025?

    Do you think vBulletin is dead as a forum platform? Although it's still being updated, there isn't a lot of activity on it. There aren't many people making new themes or addons for it, either. It seems like version 6 was a good attempt to bring it back to live, but lately, not even that version...

    Is XenForo Really Worth the Price

    Do you think the price of XenForo is worthy? Now I'm referring to the forum software itself, not the official add-ons. Just the forum platform and the features it provides. If you think it's worth the price, why do you say that? If you disagree with the price, what would it actually be worth...

    Should Forum Owners Disclose Sponsored Posts and Affiliate Links to Their Users?

    If a forum uses sponsored content or affiliate links, should it disclose this to its members? In most cases, it is usually required to disclose it. But does anyone feel any reason why a forum operator shouldn't have to disclose this sort of information?

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

    Most forums are niche, right? But aside from forums about forums and really specific niches that don't exist on Facebook groups or Reddit, do you think most niche forums are dead because of these platforms? If not, why not? Do you think they are thriving on social/Reddit?

    Is Strict Moderation Killing Forum Growth?

    Do you think strict moderation benefits or kills forum growth? Could you be a member of a forum that uses strict moderation techniques? I mean, essentially, you'd just have to follow the rules, right?

    Require Real Names Instead of Usernames

    Would you ever consider requiring real names as the username instead of nicknames or aliases? If yes, how could you justify doing something like this? If not, why wouldn't you? Would you ever join a forum that required this, or have you ever joined one that did? In many cases, people feel...

    Bringing Back AAF 1.0

    All, I have discovered that I still have the database of Another Admin Forum that I had back in the 2000-teens. I initially gave it to Howard from TAZ where he transferred it to TAZ. However, he doesn't own TAZ and there was never a contract. I could merge it into this forum. We'd get around...

    I see. I wondered why yours was cheaper. I'm shocked that it's that cheap and Canadian, though! Canada isn't really that cheap!
