    Blog Banning

    Yeah. I don't trust anything from Russia. I feel sorry for the people of Russia who are probably honest people, but they live in a "pretty much commie" state where their corrupt government is watching everything. So, I have no trust in them at all.

    Do newbies get too much abuse?

    Yep. And another bad thing about allowing clique members to run your forum is they're typically more needy and easier to anger. If you let them run the forum and not stop cliques before they get out of hand, then each time they get angry over something, you risk them leaving the forum and you...

    My father passed away

    Thanks folks. I just got to motivate myself to get back in action on everything.

    My father passed away

    My dad suddenly passed away about 3 days ago. I'll be more active soon and get the FotM contest squared away. I've had to do a lot with little time to grieve. I'll be back soon, folks.

    Custom Blog Theme

    I use DIVI by Elegant Themes. I have a lifetime license. So, they're semi-custom. I remember using Theme Forest a few times back in the day, though.

    What feature is still missing from every forum software today?

    Just like in terms of content creation or what?

    Paid advertising for your blog

    Most people fail with ads because they just assume it will result in something special, but they buy them with no real goal and therefore don't advertise the right pages or campaigns. The ad results fail, and they think it's a waste of money.

    The most profitable forum monetization method tried

    I think you can make more with direct ad sales than ad networks any day of the week, unless you undersell yourself.

    How do you run a successful blog? (Wrong Answers Only!)

    Better yet, use http instead. Skip the security certificate altogether!

    For my day job, I spy on people for a living LOL but I'm not government.

    Do newbies get too much abuse?

    I've seen a lot of previous admin forums go that way in the past - none that exist today, minus TAZ. But the worst niche I saw this happen a lot in was meteorology, yeah weather. That was the most dramatic forum niche I've ever witnessed.

    Should forums niche down or go broad?

    A defined and narrowed niche just seems to work out better.

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

    I've never been a fan of member pruning on forums... However, I do prune (or rather move to an inactive group) subscribers on one of my newsletters who haven't opened any of my emails within the past 6 months. I have to pay a monthly fee for xx-amount of subscribers now. I work with sponsors...

    Too Much Blog Spam

    Oh yeah. I see those all the time. With all the AI tech, you'd think platforms like WordPress and even the forum software platforms would have a handle on spam by now.

    How do you run a successful blog? (Wrong Answers Only!)

    Make sure your target SEO keywords are in every sentence.

    Paid advertising for your blog

    I don't want to pay for advertising unless the goal is to make that money back + profit.

    ChatGPT Search makes Microsoft Bing an SEO priority

    Yeah. I think that is safe to say. I'm sure all the rest are copying off Google at the end of the day.

    Of course, if it was CIA, it would be joining other forums to recruit their members to spy for your forum :P Sorry - bit of an intelligence buff haha

    Do newbies get too much abuse?

    Yep. I'll avoid those forums like they're the Black Death, LOL. I've left quite a few bigger forums because of that sort of behavior. At the time, they could care less but as the years passed, many of those forums today are completely closed down because they became inactive. Had they treated...
