Welcome to Admin Community, I hope you enjoy your time here http://www.admincommunity.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif

Promotion Forums and signature advertising mainly at the moment.

To be honest if the admin is an idiot like that, I would expect the majority of people wouldn&#39;t have joined that forum in the fisrt place.

Who here&#39;s getting Windows 8?







I probably won&#39;t to be honest as I can see me having this laptop for a while...

The forum looks fantastic, keep up the good work http://www.admincommunity.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif

Well you like Dizzee Rascal who&#39;s of the same genre... http://www.admincommunity.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/confused.gif

Not bad Dom, yourself?

Do you like Eminem? http://www.admincommunity.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif

Top Gear at the moment http://www.admincommunity.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif

Hi all. Everyone here alright?

What is the most moderators you&#39;ve ever had a forum? I&#39;ve had 4 before.

What is the default timezone on your forum? It&#39;s GMT here.

Welcome to AC, hope you enjoy your time here http://www.admincommunity.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif

A combination of both works best.

I wouldn&#39;t care, if I wasn&#39;t active on the site I probably wouldn&#39;t see anyway http://www.admincommunity.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif

Welcome back http://www.admincommunity.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif

Nice introduction, welcome and I hope you enjoy your time here http://www.admincommunity.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif

Welcome to the forum, hope you enjoy being a member here http://www.admincommunity.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif

I usually start a site with 2-3 admins and no mods, but this time around I&#39;m planning on 2 admins and 1 or two mods to start with.

Welcome to Admin Community, hope you enjoy your time here http://www.admincommunity.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif

Thanks and welcome to AC, hope you enjoy your time here http://www.admincommunity.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif

Nice guide, hopefully this will help people unsure how to restore a backup.

You already have a topic for your site: http://www.admincommunity.com/forum/topic/1877-extra-time-relaunched/







Moved to advert cemetry.

Does your site have a Contact Us page?







Admin Community does http://www.admincommunity.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif

Do you have an About us page for your site/sites?







Admin Community doesn&#39;t have one at the moment but it&#39;s on the to do list...

I did it anyway http://www.admincommunity.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif, don&#39;t see the harm in it.

The look of the forum doesn&#39;t matter too much to me providing the content is excellent, but if by the index page you can tell the forum is a catastrophe then I won&#39;t join.

Do you come up with your own ideas or get them off people?







I usually come up with them myself.

Do you join forums after being recommended by a friend?







I do join forums in this way very occasionally, not a regular source of me joining though.

Do you ever join a forum because you are friends with the owner, rather than the site genuinely interesting you?







I&#39;ve done it once or twice I think...

http://www.v7n.com/forums/marketing-forum/181972-3-free-backlinks-pr8-sites.html







Hope you find it of use....

How often do you Retweet things/get Retweeted?







Rarely for me for both.

It&#39;s not too big a deal for me but I agree that it looks far better on the site and the admin if they do have an Avatar.

Welcome to Admin Community, I hope you enjoy your time here http://www.admincommunity.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif

Hi Volpe, how are you?

Hello and welcome to Admin Community. I hope you enjoy your time here, if TheHazey is anything to go by you&#39;ll be a good addition to the community.

Rejected as no review type specified.

Do you take into account Search Marketing Optimisation when running your website?

No it isn&#39;t though I haven&#39;t submitted this site to DMOZ yet.

Hmm... it&#39;s hard to pick one to be honest as I don&#39;t relate to animals much and don&#39;t like animals much. I&#39;ll go for a snail though as I&#39;m slow to do things...

I don&#39;t really care if a member has an avatar or not to be honest. It&#39;s a members choice.

Have you ever sworn directly at a member whilst holding a staff position?







I have to be honest but it was in a rule-relaxed area where you could say whatever you liked on my previous...

I don&#39;t use it that often to be honest and I&#39;m quite confident with it, mainly because it&#39;s easy to use. http://www.admincommunity.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif

Very good post Leo. I agree with the majority of what you&#39;ve said. However, some paid staff will be exempt to what you said and just because they get paid does not necessarily mean they don&#39;t care...

It&#39;ll come up on the index page though to be honest I don&#39;t usually start a topic.

General Chat, Webmaster & Promotion Forums mainly get me going http://www.admincommunity.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif

What are your methods to get dedicated staff?

If you&#39;re a member and you don&#39;t get much of a say over changes, does it disillusion you at all?







From my point of view, it&#39;s nice to be able to express your opinions before changes are...

I use signatures... no strong preference of what others use though.

I cannot apologise enough for the 2 month delay. Anyway here is the completed assessment.

Sites with a favicon give a better impression but if they don&#39;t have one it&#39;s not the end of the world. AC needs a new favicon though...

Depends on the size/activity of your forum, it&#39;s not a question that has a definite answer. I haven&#39;t got many staff at the moment though that&#39;s because of recruitment issues, we are understaffed...

Who are you supporting in the World Cup?

Hi all,







Just thought I&#39;d let you know I have a new MSN: webmaster@admincommunity.com

i usually due it once a week when there is a competition so i can give updates, but other than that, only when there is something worth telling like when you hit a major milestone or something.

Welcome to Admin Community and I hope you enjoy your time here...

Welcome to the forum and I hope you enjoy your time here. http://www.admincommunity.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif

Come on, sir! Play fair!







If you start a thread with a question, you should give us something to read. Either a story of your own, or particular reasons for asking.

Well it&#39;s a shame you won&#39;t be posting that much, but it&#39;s good to see that my V7N strategy is working.







Welcome to Admin Community and I hope you enjoy your time here...

The forum needs a lot of a work. The favicon doesn&#39;t match the template and you should get a template other then the default. Also try and start more topics to get it going. Good luck.

Very good job with the blog. I will have to read it properly soon as I need to increae my knowledge on SEO/SEM etc.

Are you planning on using this to promote? http://www.admincommunity.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif

Have you ever had a site banned from Google? http://www.admincommunity.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif

What is the most backlinks you have got from one domain?

A bit of a strange thread, but do funny admins make you enjoy the community more and entice you to me more active?

That one you posted on TheHazey was probably one of the worst I&#39;ve seen. Other then that none really come to mind.

What&#39;s the most bizarre excuse you&#39;ve ever seen a staff member come up with for leaving?

If it&#39;s a free hosted forum with a difficult to remember name and a lack of activity, then I will look down it I guess. If it&#39;s got potential though I won&#39;t do so.

If you don&#39;t know what to start a forum on, don&#39;t start a forum.

el canadiano http://www.admincommunity.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif

I&#39;m a moderator and I really like the site, very glad to be a moderator and I can&#39;t really pick out anything wrong. Keep going with the success.

Hmm, to be honest there is no method that guarantees a successful, respectable community. However I&#39;ll give you my advice anyway. One thing you can do have the link to your forum in forums of the...

It would be a good thing if they knew how to code, so they can install mods or change the design.

Welcome to Admin Community, I hope you enjoy your time here http://www.admincommunity.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif

Which do you prefer and why? I prefer co.cc myself, it doesn&#39;t force you to have a button in the footer amongst other things.

How often do you send out mass emails?

I have a second admin mainly to help with the technical side of things and to bring a lot of experience with IPB3 to the helm, also it&#39;s useful in case I&#39;m gone and need someone to maintain the forum.

Mhm this thread has gone pretty dead.







Anyway I&#39;m off on holiday now, be back soon http://www.admincommunity.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif

A TLD would be good and the template needs to be improved. Good luck with your site though.

How do you get members? As I just made a long post over at TheHazey, I felt inclined to make this topic. Anyway this is what I think.







There is no definite way to get members, at least...

Have you ever owned a dedicated server?

Yeah an age restriction might be a good idea, it would also have to be a pretty &#39;&#39;closed&#39;&#39; forum as such.

According to Analytics 7.94% of my traffic comes through Search Engines. I&#39;ll presume most of that is Google http://www.admincommunity.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif

This sort of story is disgusting, I really think that life sentences should be the punishment for paedophilia every time.

As a percentage, how much traffic comes to your site through Google?

It looks nice, activity levels could be higher but on the whole nice forum.

What is the maximum amount of forums/websites you can run at once?

Mainly Advertising & Webmaster forums though I also like football forums and some general chat forums can be alright

Personally I don&#39;t ban them straight away and be too judgemental in that way but chances are I won&#39;t make them staff should they apply.

Congrats on 5,000 posts, you&#39;ve already got 6,000 posts as well I see. http://www.admincommunity.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif

Congrats on another milestone!

Have you ever paid anyone with lots of followers to tweet your site?

Have you ever reported anyone to Google for whatever reason?

Name any hosts which in your opinion have good support in this thread.

Name any hosts which in your opinion have bad support in this thread.

Does this put you off or do you just choose to ignore it and post on the forum as normal?

Seeing as you are requesting .info domains from here which are 60p, can you please tell me how you plan on funding this sort of site?

Hello and welcome to the forum. Wober has a great community so I&#39;m sure you&#39;ll be a great addition to the forum http://www.admincommunity.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif

Do you judge members on reputation or how they act on your forum?

Anyone here a fan of this song? It&#39;s absolutely out of this world IMO.

Has anyone here learnt to program to make money?

Even though it&#39;s pretty much dead, does anyone still use Myspace for promotional purposes?

Does anyone here use Delicious? http://www.admincommunity.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif

Does anyone use Wolfram Alpha? I don&#39;t myself.

Excluding Google, what is your favourite search engine? http://www.admincommunity.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif

When you buy a domain, do you try and ensure it has keywords that people will search?

Do they put you off? Does it depend on the niche of the forum?







Hmm for me they don&#39;t put me off too much but they&#39;re far better at the bottom of the page rather than the top and I do...

As the title suggestions, how seriously do you take your forums?

Thanks! But i don&#39;t Know where to Go. LOL

Thanks and welcome to Admin Community, I hope you enjoy your time here http://www.admincommunity.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif

Hi I found you at TheHazey where Sbfc is a top member of ours and an all round good guy.

Hello and welcome to Admin Community, I hope you enjoy your time here http://www.admincommunity.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif

Do you celebrate a topic milestone, e.g 10,000 topics?







I haven&#39;t in the past and it&#39;s only something I&#39;d consider with a large amount of topics....

Does anyone here use them? I haven&#39;t used them but I&#39;ve heard good thing about them and their rates seem reasonable.

How do you deal with duplicate topics? Do you lock the duplicate or do you merge the duplicate with the original?







I usually lock them myself but I do also ocassionally merge topics.

The content of your blog is very good and the articles are interesting. I like the theme as well.







The only real suggestion I have is to maybe improve the presentation of the &#39;&#39;About,...

How many visitors do you get to your site when you tweet it?







I usually get about 20. http://www.admincommunity.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif

What are your preferred methods of SEO?

How do you deal with text speak & abbreviations in posts on your forum?







If it&#39;s not understandable, it&#39;s very annoying and chances are it will be removed. Abbreviations are generally...

Hello and welcome to Admin Community.







I&#39;m good thanks, yourself?

What&#39;s the most you&#39;ve ever spent on hosting? For me it&#39;s probably about $60 or so for a year with BlueHost.

We currently have 3 moderators on Admin Community.

It needs more content and EasyHits4U is not going to make you any real money. Oh and the theme needs improving IMO.







Good luck though.

If a forum has too many VIP/Staff only features, does it deter you as a member?

What are your views on torrent discussion/advertising on your site?







I allow as much freedom on the matter as HawkHost allows me personally.

Welcome to Admin Community, I hope you enjoy your time here http://www.admincommunity.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif

If their sole purpose of being a member of your forum is to troll, then they should be banned IMO, especially if he&#39;s causing trouble.

Please stop bumping your topic. Unfortunately we have a bit of an assessment team crisis at the moment, hopefully we&#39;ll get some team members soon.

Comedy movies usually.

Are there any niche of forums you won&#39;t join whatsoever?

Have a good birthday. http://www.admincommunity.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif

I didn&#39;t see all of them but I saw quite a few of them, great work!

It looks nice and has potential... best of luck with your site. http://www.admincommunity.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif

For those of you who use FB, how often do you update your Facebook status?

What is the target audience of your forum? Mine is webmasters. http://www.admincommunity.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif

What do people here think of the latest version of SMF?

Templates completely updated, however assessments are no longer free for new requestees as of the the 8th May.

You already have an intro. Locked.

Welcome to the forum, hope you do stick around and enjoy your time here. http://www.admincommunity.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif

I have a single bed. http://www.admincommunity.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif

Good luck getting staff http://www.admincommunity.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif

Nice one http://www.admincommunity.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif, out of interest do you have to pay anything or does he do it for free?

Have you ever used Blackhat SEO?

The template is ok. The navbar is horrible though. I think you need a more appealing skin as well and a new banner to go with it.

It&#39;s probably the [img] or [url] one for me.

Honestly spoken, are you just as polite in PM&#39;s as you would be posting on the forum?

Honestly, my interaction with the members isn&#39;t great but I agree with what you&#39;ve said.

Because I liked the idea of a webmaster forum and was feeling really motivated about it.

Good luck with your topsite. http://admincommunity.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif

Spurs have got it http://admincommunity.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif

It looks reasonably nice though activity doesn&#39;t seem great. Good luck with it.

No to the first question and Sbfc= Stevenage Borough Football Club.

Does your forum have any competitors? Do you endorse competitors by allowing signature links to forums of the same niche?







AC&#39;s competitors are forums like AdminAddict and The Admin...

I listened to the whole thing (honestly, not that closely) but it was top notch stuff.

Welcome to the forum, I hope you enjoy your time here http://admincommunity.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif

Favourite bands?

Does your forum ever have arguments between staff? If so, how do you deal with it?

Welcome to Admin Community, I hope you enjoy your time here http://admincommunity.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif

I love he theme, but may be you need more activity and also, it would be good if you can add some arcade or other entertainment modules like that, that would help you bring more activity

I think the design of the site definitely needs some improvemement.







Also are you on a dedicated server or what are you running?

It looks pretty nice, good luck with it. http://admincommunity.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif

1: They only do 1 site check a month. It&#39;s no big deal. If you are THAT impatient to wait an hour and a half, then you might as well not own a forum or a site.







2: The MySQL works...

Welcome to Admin Community, I hope you enjoy your time here http://admincommunity.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif

As the title suggests, does the software make any difference to your activity levels on a forum, or does it even stop you joining full stop?







Personally, it may affect my activity...

I think Wordpress is a very good blogging software, definitely the best free one out there. And as el canadiano said, it has a fantastic plugin system.

Pretty good article, thanks for sharing. I agree with pretty much everything said in it.

Welcome to Admin Community, I hope you enjoy your time here. http://admincommunity.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif

Who here has used HostGator? If so, what did you think of it?

I don&#39;t think it&#39;s going to happen.

That&#39;s not the only thing that makes you a mature/immature admin lol.

If it keeps happening then turn on email activation.

Hello and welcome to Admin Community, I hope you enjoy your time here http://admincommunity.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif







Nice intro by the way...

How mature an admin are you? http://admincommunity.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif

Sbfc= Stevenage Borough Football Club.

well, i guess, from this opening thread it is easy to see that this is a brand new community.
