It's good to have a friend helping as long as you both can get along and they understand you have a final say.

Re: Forum Admin Forum

Forum Admin Forum is slowly growing. I've added a new article today about how to promote your forum in 2023.

I'm still working on my eBook. I've slowed down to ensure that it's written the best it can be written. :)

Do you have plans to make money with your forum?

If so, how soon do you plan to attempt it?

Would you rather establish a community first?

Re: Favourite Domain Vendors?

I've always used my web hosting service, DreamHost, to keep it all on one account.

Re: Ever used a free domain name?

Long time ago, I used Tripod and my domain name had Tripod.com in it.

Re: Custom Theme

I've always chosen to buy pre-made because they typically have better features and looks and are supported more. But I have a goal to eventually hire someone to create a custom theme at some point during the life of the forum. I think it's important to eventually have a unique brand (theme-wise) fo...
