So, is IPB still downloadable? I thought it was all cloud now where you had to host it on their service like a SaaS.

I'm enjoying it myself. It took me a minute to figure out how to add new forums. Channels are different than nodes. But once I got that out of the way, I started picking up on everything pretty quickly.

Howdy folks, Shawn here. Shawn Gossman. Joined in 2010... WOW! 2010? I was 26! :o I'm 40 now. Crazy. Anyways, I'm back! AWS linked here on my forum (it's just another admin forum lol) and I love admin forums, so here I am :) 40, married male, live in Southern Illinois Thanks for having me...again!

So I have a new forum using IPB 3.1 and this is my first time using IPB 3.1. I want to optimize it the best possible way I can for SEO and need help, instructions, recommendations and reviews from others. Please feel free to be the others =) http://www.horrortopics.com/

I always hear adding a blog to your community could earn you more money. How true is this? And how would it work?

I mean though are there more ways other than adsense, selling ads and premium memberships to earn money?

It may good but does this mean sometimes when hosts are slow, it will hurt us?
