I ran a half-marathon trail run this weekend. I'm pretty sore. Did it in 4 hours and 18 minutes, shorter time than I figured. It was my first time doing it.
Have any of you ever ran a half-marathon, trail or road?
Looking at the forum software you use today:
1. What is the ONE FEATURE you would add to it?
2. If you had to remove ONE FEATURE from the software, what would you remove?
Why on both?
Would you rather maintain a traditional blog? This is written content, traditional blog posts.
Or would you rather maintain a video blog? Vlogging, YouTube, etc.
Why one over the other? Why not both?
Does your forum have an official mission? How about an unofficial mission?
What is the overall mission and purpose of your forum?
Even better...
What's the mission for YOU to get from your forum, as well?
Out of all the forum software available, what software has given you the worst user experience?
Whay was the experience so bad? What could the forum software do to change or improve the user experience?
How often should you change your forum theme?
Do you think a forum theme should be changed often? Do you think a forum theme shouldn't be changed at all?
How have you customized your WordPress theme?
What have you done to make it different or unique than other people?
If you haven't done anything at all, are you worried the theme may bore people?
Pretty much every major release, WordPress puts out a new theme and names it after the current year.
What do you all think about these default themes? Are any of you using them at all as your main theme? Or do you always change the theme to something else?
Are any of you using AMP for WordPress at all?
AMP allows for people on mobile devices to read and view your blog better.
You can even enable AdSense to display on AMP.
Are any of you using AMP at all?
Which software do you prefer for the "blogging" aspect of how each software performs and provides?
I'm not asking to compare apples to oranges here. Ignore the CMS features of WordPress and just consider the blogging component.
WordPress software versus Ghost software!
Has anyone ever accused you of spamming your forum?
If so, why did they say that you spammed? What was your response to them? How did you justify what you did as something other than spamming?
How do you feel about promotion forums?
Are they just a scam to get you to post and become active on their forum in exchange they allow you to promote your forum?
Are you just promoting to a bunch of people who are just there to promote their own forum?
There really isn't a real audience...
What is working for growing your forum in 2025 that you hadn't tried before or simply didn't work in the past?
Do you look for new ways to grow your forum at all?
Are there any blogs out there that you're an active guest contributor on?
I'm not talking about just posting one guest blog. I'm talking about a blog where you actively publish multiple guest blogs and are a regular contributor.
Have you ever bought out another blog within your niche?
Was this blog competition? Is that why you bought it out?
What did you do with it? Did you keep running it as a standalone blog? Did you merge it with your own blog? Or did you shut it down?
Have any of you ever had members who don't take forum warnings very well?
If so, tell us about it. What's your story? Did the member freak out? Did you end up having to ban them?
On average, how well do most of your members take getting a rule violation warning from you or your staff team?
Do you allow images to be attached into member signatures on your forum?
Can they hot link images or msy they upload them?
Do you have size, quantity, or image style requirements or limitations?
Do you run your forum like a dictatorship?
Meaning, you make all the decisions solely because you own the forum. You don'y give your members a voice or decision in any sort of decisionmaking.
It's hard to label forums as dictatorships but if you really look at them, most of them have that...
