GTB Posted June 19, 2016 Posted June 19, 2016 (edited) Things might be changing at my forum in the future. The past few months I've been dwelling on whether or not to do a total revamp of the site and move away completely from general discussion to covering another hobby "niche" of mine, one of two things. At minute I just don't have the enthusiasm to do what is needed for it to happen. It will also mean moving the forum to another domain name and hosting package. Unfortunately most members (if not all) won't be interested in what the forum covers if this big change does end up happening. I don't honestly know if this is going to happen yet, or if things will end up remaining as is because I can't be arsed. I just can't bring myself to do the work that is needed for it, plus the amount of time required as on part at first. So dunno yet,. but don't see any point now in running a general discussion forum really, haven't done so for months. Edited June 19, 2016 by GTB
Forum² Admin AWS Posted June 19, 2016 Author Forum² Admin Posted June 19, 2016 I like visiting your site. If I were you I'd keep it going as is. I know there are ebs and flows with activity, but, for the most part the site is doing pretty good. IPB Webmaster - For Invision Community Enthusiasts - SEO Help Forum
GTB Posted June 19, 2016 Posted June 19, 2016 (edited) Well my two ideas are either turning the site over to covering "Course and Sea fishing". Or covering keeping "Marine, Tropical and Coldwater Aquariums (also outdoor ponds)". Yeah, it isn't going interest anyone on the forum now, but for me I know a lot about both and can put the Blog, Gallery and FileBase to far better use. To forum obviously won't be run anything like what is allowed now on general discussion site, if this does happen. It will be purely a niche site only with no general discussion at all. But we'll see... Edited June 19, 2016 by GTB
Forum² Admin AWS Posted June 19, 2016 Author Forum² Admin Posted June 19, 2016 Didn't you get your start with forum in that niche? I seem to remember being a member of your early forum which was about aquariums. I was doing research when I wanted to get started with salt water.

GTB Posted June 19, 2016 Posted June 19, 2016 (edited) I used to run a large Aquarium website, not a forum, or maybe I have for a short while in past. I created a few hundred page website many years ago now that covered all tropical, marine and coldwater fish species on. There's a lot of work involved doing it for either thing, why it's been putting me off because it a huge task really at first doing things like using the Blog with WBB to list all fish species again and whatnot else that needs doing at start. Big job, done it before with website and takes months just adding all the 1000's of fish species on Blog alone to get some traffic coming in for forum to get used. Maybe I might end up doing it with another forum started much later using WBB 3 instead. Edited June 19, 2016 by GTB
