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

    Are forums supposed to copy social media? If so, in what way exactly? To me, when a forum tries too hard to be like social media, it kind of loses what makes it a forum. It just turns into another social platform. Funny thing is, a lot of forums want to act like social media, and social media...

    Secret Admin

    While it might work on physical stores, I don't think it works on online forums. The dynamics are totally different. That might work if you are investigating a specific user or your forum involves minors or other specific topics, but anyways, I don't see how it would fit into a regular forum...

    What’s your favorite way to reward active members?

    I am mannitic using the "Like" button, It's a way to let them know I read their post. I do use some badges and special titles, but what I use most is tipping their post --it really makes a big difference, even if the tip is as small as $0.01. What I notice is that it's not the amount what makes...

    What’s your take on mobile apps vs. mobile browsers for forums?

    Based on my own preferences.. I install the less apps as possible on my phone. I can do pretty much everything from a mobile web app. So, I have no need for another app installed on my phone tracking every single movement. On top of that, most users (for what I can see) uses multiple forums...

    Do you spend a lot of time on your forum?

    All of them know I am working on the backend, I post updates on my profile about things I am doing though, and I answer any mention or pm right away. I tip them when I like their post as well. I can't read all the content they put up, but when they need me, they just mention me and I am there in...

    Forum Restructuring

    Yes, less it's more. I had just a handful of categories and started adding upon user's request, but soon they left them mostly empty. I will cut back to a handful of them.

    I am most of the time at my forum, not posting, but doing backend stuff (it's fun)

    Hiring Content Creators: Beware

    I have had the same issues, this is a constant battle I got on my forum. Not even a paywall was enough if they get more than what they pay. My latest resource was a basic KYC style. I admit I don't like it, but I can't find a better solution as of now to solve the double accounts issue.

    Staying Logged In

    When I am online, I am logged in 99% of the time, so my users know I am there if they need me for any reason.

    Paying Members

    That would be nice to know :) also who currently owns the domain? I would love to give it a new try.

    Paying Members

    I am paying for users to post, and I am very happy with the results. You can turn an ghost forum into a very active one pretty quick. About posters that add no much value, that happens either way with paid and non paid posters. As admins and moderators, we always have to keep an eye on the...

    F*** You!

    I just used a variation of the word in a pm. When a person consume all my patience and I get to see they are taking advantage/cheating, I don't mind speaking my mind public or private. I try as hard as possible to be polite, but I got a limit.

    Low Quality Member Posts

    I agree with @Cpvr I rather the user feel welcomed and enjoy the time spent on the forum. Sometimes you might want get deep or long comments on some sections or topics, but you can always ask the user to do so on such areas, but not in the entire forum or always to be like that, it's not...

    Is X worth it without Blue?

    I never took Twitter (or X now) too serious. Their accounts were more bots than actual people. And their limits of 144 characters never made to much sense to me. I suppose if you have a premium account they should provide better results than the free accounts.

    Forum Spawned Enemies

    It happens once in a while. Even both parties may love the forum world, it does't mean both parties agree on the same things. We all suck at some point, sooner or later. That's part of human beings. I just move along after some time and focus on my own business.

    @Nomad, weren't you asking some time ago how to go about this? (this is the guy you are looking for :) )
