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

    I think forums are fine. They just need actual mobile apps that are included in the app stores and are easily to install for some instead of the normal PWA apps. Maybe some users find it too confusing to install the simple PWA apps that we have now. The SAAS forum options offer similar features...

    Are forum contests actually helping forums?

    Yes. I offered a top prize of $100 with a second prize of $50.

    Always going off-topic

    Honestly, I allow it. I don’t have any issues with members going off topic on a discussion.

    A Forum made for Forum Trolls

    Didn’t Aws run one with Justbs? I think it could work well.😂

    Are forum contests actually helping forums?

    They're great to do every once in a while to drive in new members and give back to the community. They also boast activity and can be quite helpful in creating a new flow of content. I'm a fan of utilizing contests to help kick start a forum, or using them to engage my community further. I've...

    BUMP!

    Yes, I send them a dm prior to the merger and an auto alert letting them know that the topic has been merged. Duplicate content isn’t a good idea nor is having similar content based upon the same situation a good idea. I don’t like having similar subjects being discussed thousands of times on...

    BUMP!

    Yes, I’ll merge them.

    More than one account per member

    I don't allow multiple accounts per user. If I see a user with two accounts, I'll politely ask them which account they'd like to use. I'll either merge them together or delete the other account that they don't want to use. If it's a wife and husband, I don't have an issue with that. My forum is...

    BUMP!

    Bumping topics is perfectly fine with me. I’d rather an older topic be brought back to life than a newer topic on the same subject remade. Necroposting has never really been a big deal to me. Old content always has value.

    Forum Restructuring

    Looks good! I like a more streamlined forum myself. Nice work @Shawn Gossman

    More active off topic section?

    It is. It's like how Reddit and Digg formed. They catered to a few things, then branched out to more areas. It's the very basis of a forum. You start with a few subjects, then expand your horizons as the community grows and flourishs. It's like a garden, you plant the seed, water it, and it...

    More active off topic section?

    Honestly, as long as community bonding and relationships are forming, I don't worry about which section of my forum is getting more activity. As long as my members are engaging, having fun, and talking, that's all that matters at the end of the day. If they want to hang out, talk about coffee...

    What Are Indexing Tiers? And Why Should SEOs Care?

    What Are Indexing Tiers? And Why Should SEOs Care? Back in 2014, Prabhakar Raghavan (then VP of Search & Ads, now Google’s Chief Technologist) introduced the concept of Indexing Tiers—a core part of Google’s semantic web evolution. Later, on the Search Off the Record podcast, Google engineers...

    Upgrading PHP

    I upgrade my php version as soon as I know it’s stable enough to upgrade. I don’t blindly upgrade to a newer version without knowing it’s compatible or not.

    Is XenForo Really Worth the Price

    It's like this, is Mcdonald's worth the money? Is burger king worth the money? Is going to a new restaurant worth the money? Is buying an angus burger worth the money? Is a cup of coffee worth the money? Is a new book worth the money? The way I see it, if you like the software and the features...

    Time to write...

    It all depends on what I'm doing that particular day, if I'm busy or not. But, when I buckle down, I'll push a down a ton of content out. I don't schedule content. I don't like doing that, I'll rather push my writings out as I get them done. As long as I'm locked in, nobody can stop me, except...

    Require Real Names Instead of Usernames

    No, I won't require my users to use their real names. I've been using my alias for the past 20 years and I won't be using my real name anytime soon, so i won't force my users to do so either.

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

    Some niches, yes. However, many niches may have subreddits set up on facebook groups and/or reddit, but these particular areas are dead in the water. These platforms are a lot bigger than ours, but we can still thrive even competiting against them. For example, there are 3-5 different...

    Was looking at buying XF site back from friend.. but

    That’s correct. If a big board is 100k posts and over 5k members, then I’m pretty sure one of us will hit it within the next few years. My forum is currently at 30k posts. It had 4k posts last May. Roflmao also has 32k+ posts. To me, as long as traffic continues to climb, new posts keep...
