Have you decided on a niche yet? Post exchanges can help you get your forum off the ground with new posts and threads. You can also get forum packages from other admin sites like Administrata and forumpromotion, which can really help you get your forum off the ground especially while doing post exchanges as well. You’ll also have to promote your forum everywhere, such as, on reddit, facebook, twitter, tumblr, etc, so you can attract new members. The more places that you promote your forum, the easier it’ll be to attract new members.

If you need a server with ddos protection, knownhost offers servers with ddos protection. You can also use cloudflare’s waf’s feature to block malicious traffic.

I think it’s a good idea to edit the content and add a human feel to the ai content though.

Post exchanges and posting packages can help new communities gain traction, especially given the competition from giants like Reddit, Quora, and Facebook. While some may argue that these practices undermine organic interaction, they don’t necessarily change the atmosphere of a community if used thoughtfully. Years ago, forums didn’t need such strategies because they were naturally bustling with activity. However, in today’s landscape, where social media dominates, new communities need every tool available to establish themselves. These methods are effective as long as they’re used to build momentum and attract genuine daily users. Ultimately, a community thrives when it fosters a sense of belonging—a space where people can connect, share ideas, and hang out. It stops being a true community when it loses sight of this foundation.

I also use Google alerts to come up with new content ideas. Quora and Reddit is a gold mine as there’s a lot of ways that you can spin their content & come up with your own content.

I agree. The key is to submit your forum to directories that are relevant to your niche, so you can reap the benefits. That’s the best type of backlink to obtain.

I try to post new content every day. However, if I miss a day or two, I’ll go on a posting spree to make up for the missed time.

I think the hardest back was getting back into the grove again. Especially being away for a while once I restarted my forum.

I’m looking forward to 2.4, but I don’t think it’ll be ready anytime soon. There hasn’t been any previews release yet. Once they release some “have you seen” threads, then I’ll believe that the release date is near.

Mybb is the worst forum software. It hasn’t kept up with the standards and sucks for mobile use.

I build backlinks to my forum via my forum signatures on other communities, reddit and Tumblr. I also add my forum to directories. I try to diversify my backlink profile, so there are various sources of backlinks.

Welcome to the forum! @Immortal

Hey there @Debashis welcome to the community!

I agree. There are also a lot of nice themes available too. Especially Dohthemes and Themehouse’s.

Welcome to the community! It’s great to see you here.
