    Getting the police involved

    At least you have a setup for it. I feel like that is staying ahead of the crisis before it actually occurs. Preparedness for the win, right?

    Ban = Enemy for Life

    Has a ban on your forum ever resulted in gaining an enemy for life? Most forum bans should be simple. You ban the violator and be done with it. However, some bans might result in such anger and hatred from the one who is banned that they become your enemy for life. Most enemies will do...

    Does the niche determine success?

    There are a lot of saturated niches out there when it comes to running a forum or a blog. Does niche selection really setup and predict the overall success of the forum owner or blogger? If you choose a saturated niche, are you just setting yourself up for harder work and less of a chance of...

    Getting the police involved

    I totally agree. I would act on it, as well. You might save a life.

    Invision Invision Self-Host vs Cloud

    That is what would scare me away. I want to self-host and if there is chance that I won't be able to keep doing that and have to worry about moving software, well, I'd prefer to skip that step altogether.

    Using AI to create content without AI-Detection

    I think it's going to depend on the niche. For example, our niche (forums, blogging, webmaster stuff), it'll be harder to sell human content. Mainly, it's because it technical "how to do something" content that people are looking for. They have a pain point they wish to shake off and if the...

    Domains Domains pointed at each forum/blog

    How many domain names do you have pointed at each forum and/or blog that you have? I don't point many domain names at my websites at all. I do run an NPO and the .com domain point to the .org main site. But that's about it. I don't typically buy up all the .TLDs to point to my main domain...

    Domains Domain doesn't match forum

    I've seen a few forums that are using domain names with words in them that doesn't match the forum name. Have you noticed this at all? Why do you think this is? I suspect people don't want to (or can't afford to) buy a new domain name and they wish to get the most value out of their owned...

    phpBB So Many phpBB Users!

    How are so many people still using phpBB? The software is actively developed but after testing it for a few months, it's probably the easiest software to get bombarded with spammers and spam bots. Also, the features out of the box are not that great. Still, so many people are still using it...

    Invision Invision Self-Host vs Cloud

    Invision offers two different options: (1) Self-hosting the forum software (2) Cloud hosting While most would ideally want self-hosting for more control, it looks like Invision is offering exclusive feature for cloud users that self-hosting users are unable to get. For those of you who use...

    AdSense revenue sharing

    Do you remember back in the day when forums used to offer AdSense revenue sharing to its active members? I remember it but I don't think I ever made anything from those forums. I wonder if that is still around? Have any of you seen this to be possible in an automated way? Do you think that...

    100 Blog Comments

    How long did it take you to get 100 blog comments? I think 100 comments on a blog is a pretty nice milestone. It's easy to get 100 replies on a forum but not so easy to get it on a blog. I must have taken me about 4 years before I got that many comments. I'm sure if I published more posts each...

    Strange registrations on your forum

    Do you get occasional instances of strange registrations on your forum? Weird usernames. They never post. They might visit from time to time. Do you think it's lurkers? Spammers? Something else?

    What day(s) and time(s) do you publish your blog content? Why did you choose these days and times specifically? Was there a reason or was that just what you decided to go with?

    Deleting old blog posts

    How do you feel about the practice of deleting old blog posts that are underperforming? Is this something you do? If so, I'd love to understand how you justify deleting the content rather than trying to update it. How is it actually harming your blog to keep it up? How often do you delete old...

    Using AI to create content without AI-Detection

    Oh, for sure. It's not going anywhere and eventually search engines, social networks, and other media brands will have to accept AI-content created entirely by machine generation. Us true content creators might be a rare people. But companies who want genuine human generated content might...
