Re: RE: What did you eat/drink last? Ravenfreak 06/19/2026 10:05 PM
I had McDonald's for lunch after getting my haircut today. I got a 10 piece McNugget meal with some fries and a Berry Blast Sprite.

It's always a plus when you find the perfect host! I know the original version of your forum was on phpBB already so I'm sure it was familiar for you to go with Forumotion. smile

Yeah we were on paid hosting last time but I didn't feel like fighting with it again so I opted for a free host this time
I don't blame you, things are getting more expensive in our economy so you're saving money by going with a free host. smile

Re: Do You Earn From YouTube Shorts Ravenfreak 06/15/2026 9:19 PM
I need to start making shorts because they tend to help generate views. I haven't made money from youtube shorts nor Youtube in general yet. I would love to someday though. I did get an offer back in 2010 but at the time my videos contained copyright material so I didn't feel right trying to earn money. Plus I don't think I could have even if I tried lol.

Re: RE: What phone do you have? JennyorAlice 06/15/2026 2:57 PM
I think they all will perform updates, it's unavoidable. It just takes the Samsung phones a little longer to get glitch-y than the iPhones (in my opinion). It's kind of why my hubby switched from an iPhone to a Samsung phone.

Re: Tablet or e-reader JennyorAlice 06/15/2026 2:54 PM
I have a Kindle Fire but I've had it a couple of years (at least). I don't know what generation it is (I've slept since then) but it's worked good enough for what I use it for. I just use it to read my digital/e-books on and it's worked fine for that.

I don't think it's gaming.....it's more specifically the game(s) we're talking about. You have to look at each specific game. That's probably why they put age ratings on video games these day.

Re: Console Gaming Vs. PC Gaming? JennyorAlice 06/15/2026 2:50 PM
I've always been a console gamer. My parents bought a NES for the family when I was around kindergarten-ish and that's what started me down the console gaming thing. Computers weren't really big then and everybody and their uncle didn't have a cell phone then. So that maybe why I got into console gaming instead of PC gaming.

DuckDuckGo Ravenfreak 06/10/2026 11:15 PM
Many people are switching over to DuckDuckGo since Google has been pushing AI a lot lately. DDG has been around for years and has always put privacy first which is another plus for me. I'm starting to use DuckDuckGo more than Google and even Brave search.

Re: At What Age Would You Allow Your Kid to Play Game? JennyorAlice 06/08/2026 8:02 PM
It depends on what kind of game it is. If it's something like a Mario game, I think it's suitable for a grade school kid to be playing that. However, there are some games that are for adults only because of the content on it. That's why they put age ratings on the games.....so parents will have an idea when they buy it for their kids.

I use Wordpress for my blog, which I've had for over 7 years.

I'm currently using Jcink for my forum, which I've only had for a couple of months.

Re: How often do you edit existing threads? JennyorAlice 06/08/2026 7:58 PM
I'll admit....there have been a time or two where I've just scrapped a thread and started over.

But sometimes I've adjusted the thread because I don't want to loose all the responses to that thread.

I definitely agree with you there. If the owner or staff treat members like garbage I wouldn't want to join the forum.

For my blog, I've been with the Wordpress the entire time I've had my blog. It's been over 7 years.

My forum, it's been about 3 weeks.....give or take. I've used them before.

Re: Handheld Gaming JennyorAlice 05/31/2026 8:15 PM
Well, I sometimes play games on my Switch. That is a console but it can be used as a handheld.

I do have a 3DS but I haven't played that in a while.

How often do you edit existing threads? Ravenfreak 05/29/2026 9:43 PM
Sometimes it's better to edit an existing thread instead of creating a new one. How often do you find yourself going back and editing older threads or posts on your forums? Or do you just keep the thread/post how it was originally posted and chime in the thread with new information?

Hey everyone I hope you're all enjoying your week so far. I'm hoping I can get some more activity here, I need to add this website to Google Search Console and see where else I can promote it and get some backlinks.

Google Search Console Ravenfreak 05/27/2026 11:31 PM
How often do you check your websites in Google Search Console? I need to add Zippy Promotion to Google Search Console, I have Thee Zone added to Google Search Console and for some reason South Park on HBO seems to be the most popular search query people are using to find Thee Zone.

Yeah it sucks what happened with Zetaboards! Tapatalk sucks, Forum Spark is similar to Zetaboards and I recommend using it if you want a forum similar to Zetaboards again. smile
