    A community is not a community when the admin is inactive. I see this so much. The owner just creates the forum and just wants to moderate and that's it. It takes the owner to start the community-side of the forum. A community and a forum are two different things. A forum is a platform. A community is culture of loyalty much like a friendship or family.

    Is Ruby older than Python?

    What do you like about it so far?

    I agree with this being an important step or rather two important steps. If you don't have the budget, get a free forum. Use one that can be easily merged later down the road if you decide you can purchase a forum software.

    I used to actually use demos in the past, back in the 90s and early 2000s. Nowadays, I never do. I just join or even pay for a service without knowing how it works. LOL. But I think new folks should try before they buy. We're more experienced and we have an idea of what we're going to get.

    The hardest part for me is always the wait of getting that first real member. It's doable but it's hard to wait without getting somewhat anxious.

    I use it for my blogs. I earn a few hundred dollars a month with it. It's a good secondary source of income in blogging. When I post more controversial posts, I tend to make more money.

    I've always wanted to build my own forum software. I've considered doing it as a way to teach myself a programming language. If you could build a forum software, what would you use?

    I've used it for rewriting notices and welcome messages. It can help integrate copywrite into the messaging.

    How about Python? For a while, I thought Python was the next big thing!

    Thinking back - what was the hardest part about starting your forum? How did you overcome it?

    Do any of you use AI to generate forum content? If not, why not? If yes, how do you justify doing it?

    What forum software have you used that is odd? Odd in terms of no one else is really using it and you just wanted to do something unique?

    Before choosing the software to power your forum, take advantage of free trials and demos beforehand. You might blindly choose a software that you end up hating to use. Then, you have to go through the trouble of merging software. Sometimes, you have to use another software just to be able to merge one to another. It can become a nightmare. Test it out first and go with what you love best. What do you all think about this sort of thing?

    That's why I really don't put too many in there. Focus more on making the content awesome because if people are clicking on it and consuming it for periods and not pogo-sticking, then you'll win!

    I'm afraid I have to agree with MyBB being the worst. It used to be an awesome forum software before mobile really came into the picture. Now by default, it's not even responsive and that's not good at all. But back in my hay days of running MyBB forums, it was a beautiful piece of software.

    I try to set goals for most of my forums. But they're simple and achievable for the most part. I used to set goals that were way too hard to achieve, and then I'd be a little bummed when I couldn't meet them. It took some forum owner maturing to finally figure it out.

    Do you think polls on a forum are often forgotten? I know most platforms hide them behind a button, which I think adds to the effect of many people not realizing that the feature is there. Do you often neglect to create polls?

    In your opinion, what is the worst forum software out there? Why do you feel this way?

    Did you have any expectations in forum management that turned out not to happen? Tell us about any failed forum expectation and what you did about it!

    If so, what tactics are you using to build backlinks for your forum? If not, why not?

    How often do you try to post new content on your forum? How many new topics do you post at a time?
