    I agree. Besides, if someone is doing something they're not supposed to do, if you (regular member) don't like it, then you should report it, and then action can be taken if applicable.

    Quests sounds like a cool feature. Gamification is a great way to engage a community.

    What is the best thing a teacher told you?

    I've definitely been there. Pivoting many times. Sometimes ultimately deciding to close shop and not do anything further but not because of the failure but because it made more sense to move on to things that are working.

    Failing at Blogging

    I'm using his addon on another forum. I got to be honest; I like the functionality of it. It does have a blog-feel to it. As that forum grows, I'm hoping the use of that feature also grows!

    Do you spend a lot of time on your forum?

    I try to do that myself and if there isn't many posts, then I'll start adding more new topics.

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

    I think mobile apps for forums would be more beneficial. Responsive themes aren't really that great. Sure, you can use them to post from your forum but they're very basic. It was like developers just wanted to get something made so basic mobile functionality would be possible. This is why...

    What’s your favorite way to reward active members?

    I like the idea of creating a "VIP" area for both those who choose to pay for it and those who're super active and really contributing and who simply have earned it. I do think it's important to give paid accounts something unique, though.

    It might also turn your community against you if they figure it out and feel like you don't trust them.

    What is the best thing a teacher told you?

    And sometimes trying again isn't the answer. Failure may teach you that. You might decide to pivot to something else, instead.

    Forum Restructuring

    Yeah. I've been there. Members want more boards, but they don't help to keep them active, haha.

    Do you spend a lot of time on your forum?

    I try to put eyes on everything posted on the forum, even if I don't reply to it all. But I at least want to scan through it and make sure everything is compliant. I'm sure that gets more difficult with a big board, though,

    Do you have many friends?

    I keep in touch with people mainly on the internet.

    Blog Banning

    I'm not entirely sure about Live Journal. If still around, it probably isn't what it used to be.

    What do you hate the most about forum software?

    I think both sides are barely hanging on. I just don't think many are on board anymore, developers that is. I think many have moved onto different things and the old forum platforms are a waste of their time.

    Logging into your blog

    I feel like blog comments have been on the decline over the past few years.

    Blog Banning

    I remember using Blogger when it first came out but it was called Blogspot back then. I also remember using Live Journal.

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

    A lot of people don't want to see forums favor social media looks and features but that's the kind of platform that gets used, used way more than forums ever will. I think forum software needs a BIG facelift.

    What do you hate the most about forum software?

    Very slow.

    SEO Audit for your website

    That might be good. However, usually under 2 seconds is better.

    What is the best thing a teacher told you?

    Great advice. Failure really is but a learning opportunity. If someone quits because they have failed at something, then they didn't take failure for what it actually is. And they've probably missed out on an important opportunity as well.
