    Using AI to create content without AI-Detection

    The question of morality behind AI content is an interesting discussion by itself. To me, however, the creation of AI content is here to stay, regardless of what anyone thinks about it.

    Invision Invision Page Creation Feature

    You can, but the layout won't look nice. To answer your OP, the page creation is one of the most powerful tools in the software, and helps you build a website around the forums. You can build custom help pages, info pages, custom pages per member group, pages with custom blocks, etc. One of...

    Best day to write

    Are you asking about days when you (as the blogger or thread author) are most inspired or have the most time to write? Or are you asking about the days when the blog or thread might receive maximum exposure?

    Toxic Forum Topics

    What kind of activity do you want to bring to your community? There is activity that is aligned with your community s goals and niche, there is irrelevant or low value activity, and then there is activity that is negative or subtractive to your community values. Activity is not just activity...

    Definitely more involved with my internet projects during COVID, you were stuck inside and couldn't socialize!

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

    On one hand, I appreciated XF sharing the update to explain why they postponed (maybe that's not the right word, but certainly re-evaluated a delay) their latest release. On the other hand, an excuse for slow development is still - at the end of the day - an excuse. XF is a software where...

    Will you delete content?

    There's a lot of soft deleted content that is hidden anyways or RSS content that is like value, and I don't see the need to keep that content in the long run. If you're asking about strategically deleting valid content, then that's a different discussion. I would personally utilize archiving...

    Forum Admin Failure

    A large part of the problem of hobbyist forum admins is that we define our success based "engagement activity." We think more members and more activity equates to success. We really need to redefine how we internally measure success: if you are fulfilling the community strategy and objectives...

    Telling people to search for the answer

    Designs with what i affectionately call Big Searchbox made their way to enterprise and professional community solutions several years ago. Discourse, Salesforce, Higher Logic all have this same design principle. Their customers overwhelmingly tend to use their software for support, so it makes...

    Do any of you not care about mobile users?

    Trying to take into account the huge diversity of screen size is only going to get harder and harder. Several years ago on my primary forum, I had a user complain that my forum site seemed so empty on his extra wide curved UHD 40" monitor. I mean, yeah, there's probably going to be a lot of...

    Lurkers

    Some thoughts in general: 1. Forums are structurally and fundamentally bad at incentivizing new members. Our basic design and user flow hasn't advanced in over 20 years 2. I've come to the conclusion - and professional community management has arrived at the same conclusion, especially on...

    AI posts make you lose motivation...

    I would be more worried about the day when we CAN'T distinguish between normal human posts and AI posts. The number of users and discussions focused on AI for content posting is distressing. AI can be incredibly powerful in so many other ways, not just content posting or content generation...

    Would you use nulled software, addons, or themes?

    One of the really interesting observations about the legacy forum ecosystem is that - as some developers "upscale" their clients while others continue to cater to a low cost / entry level - the piracy will follow the appropriate markets. There are enterprise community software like Salesforce...

    Pages of replies!

    One of the interesting perspectives of Discourse is that mega threads usually become tangents of conversations or status updates. Most conversations are actually discrete, with a beginning and ending.

    Do you "look into" your staff members?

    Are you running your forum as a professional business? Or are you running it as a fun hobbyist social forum? In no way am I critiquing the purpose of the background check. All I'm pointing out is that we should match the efforts of the background check to the purpose and point of the forum...

    Do you "look into" your staff members?

    I think the better question is ... Why do you care? What would you do with that information if you happened to know their real name and general location?
