    Is a chat box a good idea?

    They say the chat box or shout box ruins a forum's engagement because it takes away from the forum. That's definitely true in many cases. However, so does an off-topic section if you really want to focus on the niche aspect of a forum. So, if engagement and activity is what you're after, a chat...

    Off Topic for Staff Only

    Most of us have an off-topic section for our members to discuss topics not related to the main niche of our forum. But what about an off-topic section for just staff members? If you have a big enough staff team, you could get away with having a hidden staff category with staff-only sections...

    More than one account per member

    Do you or would you allow a member to have more than one account on your forum? A need for more than one forum account might actually be practical. For example, if a husband and wife both like your forum and both want to be a part of it, they might each make an account from the same computer...

    BUMP!

    What do you think about forum members who bump old topics? For those who don't understand, this is when a forum member finds an old discussion that hasn't been replied to in a long time and then replies to it. They'll either add something new to it such as their opinions on the subject or they...

    Engagement Sells

    I used to be the Community Manager for Copyblogger which is a blog that's been around for a long time. The CEO created an online community using Circle which is like a forum but with more features and it's also SaaS that costs money. I was hired on as the Community Manager for a little over a...

    Social Media Marketing Quit adding links to your content

    It's no shocker that content posted on social media with links will typically get less views because they algorithm is working against content that takes users away from the social media platform. It's understandable, too. They need users to stay on the platform and click ads so that they get...

    Forum Restructuring

    Howdy friends, I'm happy to announce that I have restructured the forums, once again. More is NOT Better As you can see, many boards are now gone. No topics/posts were deleted, though. I simply merged boards together to make less sections. Less looks better. Less is more user friendly. Less...

    Active Hosting Services

    How active is your hosting service? Do they just provide a service, support, and that's it? Or do they have a blog, send newsletters, and are active with their hosting community? Do they have a forum?

    Upgrading PHP

    Do you upgrade PHP on your server? If so, how often do you upgrade to the newest version of PHP? Do you wait until it's been out for a while, first?

    .Forum

    Have any of you ever used the .forum gTLD for a forum? You could get pretty creative with that gTLD if you wanted to. For example, Admin.Forum is available for $39.00 on Name Cheap but it renews at $130.00 which is crazy! My question is: Why would you not use a .forum for a forum site?

    What's your current domain list?

    What all domain names do you currently have right now? How many of them will you renew? I have 60 domain names registered. Out of those 60, I'm only going to be renewing 19 of them. I'm reducing my workload and focusing on what is working. I used to take on too many projects and neglect what...

    Your own forum platform

    Have you ever tried creating (developing) your own forum software or platform? For those of you who can program and do it, why don't you make a custom software instead of using one that's already made? You could create your own features and do everything the way you want it to be. What's...
