I think I have heard of PunBB but I am not sure if I have heard of FluxBB. I just checked the PunBB forum and I think it is clean. FluxBB was a fork of PunBB but it's no longer being maintained unfortunately. Here's what the support forum used to look like before it was shut down. https://web.archive.org/web/20220707162749/https://fluxbb.org/forums/index.php

Re: Open Source vs. Premoum Software

If you are using premium forum software and if you have quite a few forums, I think you will be spending a lot of money running your forum, right. I have two forums on Xenforo. I have to pat $120 annually for just software renewal. Thankfully, I have monetized my forum and I manage to cover all my expenses.

I did not know about Forum Spark until Cedric took control over it and started promoting. I don't have a forum yet but I am on a few forum spark powered communities and I think the free hosting platform is a great service. if you are a hobbyist, you should certainly try it.

Re: SEO for beginners

It is not complicated. The beginners should focus on just two things, one create high quality content on unique topics and two, target moderately searched keywords.

Yes, organic traffic is declining, thanks to zero click searches, search engine push of AI overview and proliferation of AI chatbots.

Re: Ever Created an Onlinr Store

I haven't ran an online store before. I'm not the most creative person so I wouldn't really know what I could sell on a store! Maybe if my Youtube channel ever got super popular I could make merch with my Channel name on it, but I'm not sure if Sega would be okay with that. Have you ever ran a merch store on your website (forum or blog)? It is really easy to integrate merch store through services like Printify or Printful.

Re: What's a forum you wanted to create, but didn't?

I have also wanted to create an admin forum, which I haven't created yet. I am on a a few admin forums and most of these forums miss discussion on technical side of administrative work, so my idea behind admin forum is to fill that gap

Re: RE: Jobs

I currently work for US Bank. I know I mentioned that the factory job wasn't too bad, but on hot days it was absolutely miserable. Not to mention towards the end my supervisors basically defended this guy who was a setup guy and was rude to everyone. They're excuse was he was retiring soon so we didn't have to put up with him much longer still that rubbed me the wrong way. I've been at US Bank for a year and a few months now. It'll be my two year anniversary in October. I love this job!

Family Friendly Vs. NSFW
Nomad
03/15/2026 5:22 AM
Are your forums family friendly or do they have NSFW content? Well, I do not like NSFW content, I always run a forum or blog that have family friendly content. Well, my forums and blogs aren't targeted towards underage people but still I want "safe" content on my forums.

What Niches Are You Into

When it comes to running a forum, what is your preferred niche, what niche is your forum. I have two forums, one is a debate forum where you can discuss multiple topics including religion and politics (the forum is under construction. My second forum is a mental health forum.

I don't have any worst birthday memories but my best birthday was when my sister spent half of her salary to buy me a gift, take to a movie and then treat in a restaurant.

Comparison is good as long as you do not fixate on someone else's success and become overly jealous. Comparing yourself with someone and try to improve yourself can be very good

There was once a political party named Green party in our country. It vouched for environmentalism. For many years, it failed even to win one seat, and finally it died.

Re: Personal Websites and Blogs

We can see portfolio blogs/website but I think "personal blog" isn't a thing any more. Well, most of the people are niche or industry specific. They are blogging with Informational and educational content. Personal content isn't popular anymore. However, for vlogging, personal vlogs are becoming more popular

Re: Do You Have a Blog?
Nomad
03/13/2026 5:01 AM
I have several.
I have 3 main ones that I post every week to. They're all monetized and earning me a contributing income.
I also have a few that I am working on getting launched to where I post weekly on them.
I love blogging the most, even more than forums these days. Great! What monetization methods are you using, what monetization brings you most revenue? I only use adsense on my blogs.

Re: Blog or a Forum?
Nomad
03/13/2026 5:00 AM
I run both.
I love forums, I do.
But I love a blog better. I can control it more and be the main source of information. That's the beauty of running a blog, everything is under your control. With forums, you depend on your users yo create content, your forum will thrive only when your users create content.

Re: Are forums dying?
Nomad
03/13/2026 4:58 AM
I think forums are currently depending on those of us who enjoy them. A specific generation of webmasters, those of us who actually started out using the term webmaster instead of creator.
I think when we're all gone, forums will be done.
They don't seem to be making a comeback that can keep them alive. I certainly agree with you. Once this generation of people who grew along with forums and form whom forums were the best places for social interaction, are gone, forums will also be gone.

Re: Video Types

I have tried long from videos but these days I mostly do short form videos. That's because I do not have to work hard to create short videos. I can even create from text or static images. Visibility is also better with short videos

I left forums a few years ago to try to deal with my health.
When I came back, I told myself only have one forum and one forum only.
I have 8 of them.
I couldn't help myself if I tried.
I'm not an enthusiast, I'm an addict LOL
