  1. When I am writing guidelines, terms of use, even welcome message, email messages I will use AI content, no editing except minor corrections.
  2. I do not think it is hard to find good moderators. However, the main problem is most people hire volunteers, when you have a volunteer as a moderator, you cannot expect commitment and loyalty. How can someone spend hours moderating content on your forum when it is not receiving anything in return?
  3. I have never done this on my forum, I mean I have never promoted my users to staff position, however, I have been promoted t staff from a normal user on many forums. I think the activity level, content quality, community player, rule following are some of the factors you should consider if you want to promote a user to a moderator or any other staff position.
  4. When you post new topics daily, how do you ensure that yo also get replies to those new topics. Communities are for discussions so it does not look good when there are no replies, how you build engagements on your topics.
  5. Never used any premium forum software. I have been running forums for more than 5 years and I have always used open source. For someone like me who has limited skills and limited budget, which forum software do you suggest.
  6. Admin Zones is XenForo and Forum Square is Invision. How do you merge two different software? Is there some kind of importer? Why are you shifting to IPB from XF?
  7. I search for the topics related to my forum niche on other similar forums or even search engines. If I don't find many, I try to create threads related to these topics
  8. I have not used Reddit for forums but in the past I tried with blogs and I had a pretty bad experience. I am not active on Reddit but I am thinking to go back and start promoting forums.
  9. Well, I engage with post exchange, buy posting packages, and also sometimes hire paid posters. These are certainly great ways to bring in activities on forums. But if you do not have users who post voluntarily, if you don't get new registrations voluntarily and your activities are based on exchange, paid posting, and posting packages, your community is not a community. This is what happening in my community. There are no organic activities and the only users I have are from post exchange, posting package and paid posting.Exchanges and posting packages are good if you sometimes do it for activity boost but if you are depended on these things just like me, your community is dead.
  10. When I started using open source, I always kept the option to merge to another forum or upgrade to premium software. However, I failed to do enough research on merge and this gave me a lot of trouble recently. 😄
  11. Sadly, I do not post too much on my own forum, and spend more time on someone else's forums. On average I make 50-60 forum posts and none of these posts are for my forum.I work as a paid poster and community manager on multiple forums, so my forums are always on the back seat.
  12. A community means a group of people who share their ideas because they care about these ideas. A community does not become a community when there are no organic activities. Interaction in communities needs to be voluntarily, when you have to pay someone to post or buy posting package, or even engage in post exchange, your community is not a community/
  13. Thank you very much for your warm welcome. I appreciate
  14. I have small forums, they do not have a lot of content. In fact my forums do not even have organic activities. I do not have anything that I can call bets content. However, I have a lot of blog posts that rank on the first page of Google
  15. I was once an active member on a certain gaming forum, admin was nice but I couldn't tolerate his moderator. The moderator even used F word in the public forum, so I stopped using the forum
  16. I do not like shoutbox in forums. I believe all the discussions in the forum should happen in the main forums. I have never used shoutbox in my forums.
  17. I think the choice for forum software should depend on two things, one, how much money you have to pay for subscriptions and add ons, and how much knowledge and skill you have to use that particular software.
  18. I have tried using social media sites to promote my forums but I have not got much traction. I think promotional forums are good platforms to promote your forums.
  19. You should give equal importance to on-page SEO,off-page SEO as well as technical SEO. But sadly, a lot of people only focus on on-page SEO. When you are building backlinks, always build links on sites related to your niche
  20. If you focus on publishing good quality content that is optimized with primary and secondary keywords, half of the battle will be won.Secondly, you will have to start building followers on social media sites so that you can market your content on social media.
  21. The first step of doing SEO starts from choosing a keyword rich domain. Secondly, you need to build search engine optimized content. Content is king so you should focus on good quality content.
  22. Apart from running two forums, I am also a staff on multiple forums and I am also active on a lot of forums. I use signature space for backlinks for my forums.
  23. I am running a forum powered by phpbb for more than two years and I like it. However, when I started using it, I found it little complicated because I did not have any experience with this forum software
  24. Hello there, I am Immortal, you can't kill me and I don't die. 😛 I enjoy posting on forums and I have various interests from gaming and watching TV shows to going on trekking. I work as a content writer. Good to be here.
