    Hot Tea

    Oh its amazing. I'm someone who has bourgeois taste on a Walmart budget 😆, so I love picking up premium teas on sale. Harney & Sons Paris Tea, Fruity Black tea with Bergamot, 50 teabags https://a.co/d/iUwpsEA It's floral and citrus from the bergamot, and it has the fruity overtones of the...

    Announcing Forum Bans

    As a general rule of thumb, I agree that private matters should be kept, well, private. However, I've also been in situations where there is more to the situation, and shuffling things under the carpet can actually lead more questions. It's important that each community leader evaluates each...

    Hot Tea

    I'm a big fan of Home Goods but ... Gotta watch your budget when you shop there. It's easy to get caught up in their seasonal decor 😀

    Hot Tea

    I should add that I have quite a few teas from Walmart currently in my pantry. Ginger and tumeric, a peach tea that I like to ice, an herbal tea, etc.

    Hot Tea

    Amazon has quite a few choices of tea. I literally just ordered a Bergamot and Blueberry tea yesterday (I think the base is an English tea). My go to tea is green tea though for its antioxidant and health benefits.

    Forum Milestones

    I'm going to tweak these milestone goals (which, as a concept, I fully support. You can't run a marathon without being able to first run a mile, then two miles, then 5 miles, etc. first). You need to tweak your goals to those that you can control. One of the biggest, most consistent failures...

    What's the hardest part about starting a new forum?

    The way that you use your forum is as a resource directory, which reinforces my point. Your site is more of a resource site first, around which you happen to offer forums. Starting a true standalone forum solely focused on conversations and engagement is super hard.

    What's the hardest part about starting a new forum?

    I'm going to say something here that legacy forum admins haven't learned in over 20 years. You're probably starting your forum too early. You must have your own unique audience, your own set of followers, or your own 5 superusers who already engage with you before you should launch your...

    Forum Content Scheduling

    For community managers looking to maximize their efficiency, the ability to schedule threads is a must. This is built in as a core feature to IPS.

    Ever Bought out your forum competition?

    Just curious. Why didn't you keep the branding and domain of the bigger one?

    Ever Bought out your forum competition?

    I definitely think forum admins should be opportunistic and at least be open minded to opportunities when they present, and prepare a number in their head of what they would be willing to go to but no higher (it's what I call the "no regrets" number -- youre willing to pay up to that amount, and...

    How much did you spend on your forum?

    I like you :) I like Shawn :) I like certain people who bring an elevated level of conversation that isn't always found in legacy admin circles

    Who do you have create your graphics these days?

    I agree, I've learned that simplicity goes a long ways, especially when you're focused and new.

    How much did you spend on your forum?

    I have a sister topic on AJ: https://admin-junkies.com/threads/how-much-are-you-willing-to-lose-before-you-cut-your-losses.16510/ The way that I asked my question on AJ is to make it sharper in helping people think through at what threshold is the spending too much.

    What's the hardest part about starting a new forum?

    This used to be my most favorite quote. So inspiring! And then I had a friend point out that you also land in the soul crushing black void of space too. 😄

    One-column forum-style

    One of the default views of IPS is a stream view anyways. It's very Discourse-ish
