I was.

But it ranks much further down in the SERP's, cause of the different keywords in the title. ;)

You honestly think some idiot is going to search the web for "bee bee codes"? They would have to in order to find the thread.

He will and has, I no longer can use my account there. :(

But it does nothing for the sites SEO!

Yes, there is to many other sites that half ass things, and never finish any of it, makes for a piss poor member experience. This even applies more if your target audience is othr forum admins. If you can't finish stuff on your site, how can anyone take you seriously when your offering advice to fellow admins?

Me I have only made addons for vBulletin. Someday I would like to try to do some for XenForo.

I recently switched from a dedi from Hivelocity to a share server from MattW on XenForo.

I would not worry to much about it. If your content is good, and the staff is not megalomaniacal, the members will always come back.

Starting off with way to many forums, that have little to no content. They should start with a small handful first, and grow into more forums.

What is clickbait thread titles? In short it’s essentially a thread title that manipulates the reader into clicking to read or see more. Most of the time it is some nonsensical title. Generally what happens next, the reader is disenchanted by the title having nothing to do with the thread, or not being a correct description of the content, losing both interest and trust from your audience. One of the biggest reasons clickbait thread titles seem so fun to users posting the thread is because of their relatively high success rate at gaining attention. Readers have a natural curiosity, but the views you’re getting through clickbait titles do nothing for a sites long term success. As a matter of fact, clickbait titles hurt your SEO. Any SEOer can tell you that the title is really important to the overall health of your thread This includes searchable keywords and the possibility of showing up as an exact match on search queries. The title does more for your post than simply give readers a preview of the posting Having a clickbait title takes away all that SEO juice you could have been sending to your thread. It tells Google nothing about what you have posted, and more importantly, it misleads people viewing threads on the site. It turns your site into an untrustworthy source, which is going to prevent those new eyes on your page from becoming return readers. Take this as a example from this site. The title of the thread in the below link is Bee Bee Codes. Bee Bee Codes While it may seem cute, and gets people that are on the site to click on it, it is in no way helping the SEO of the site. Also it is not going to show up on a search result when someone is searching for BBCodes. I would encourage admins to try and steer there members away from using clickbait titles while posting threads. This type of tactic is not going to help your site at all. Now with all that said, if you have a section that is for chit chat, then this sort of thing is fine. It allows members to have some ton on the site. But in all regular forums, this sort of thing should be discouraged against. Thanks for reading. :)

Nice to see this site resurrected:) Might be fun participating. So Ozzy has arrived. :p
