    Were to get forum software

    Xenforo is definitely a great piece of software. I'm personally using MyBB (free software) for my forum, and it is also good software. I'd say it's usually better to invest in paid software if you are able to, but as long as you get a good theme, MyBB will be a great option as well. SMF is...

    Paid vs Organic Traffic

    For me, it depends on the type of "paid traffic" my site is receiving. I would never pay a company that promised a certain number of visits in a 30 day period because the traffic would not likely be useful for improving my forum or community. In that sense, organic traffic is always better...

    If something were to happen to you...

    I think that the best thing to do for smaller forums is simply to leave someone with the FTP details of the site. If something should happen, they will be able to do whatever is needed for the site and would be able to assume control. With larger forums, it's always good to have a much...

    Picked up any bad habits?

    I guess my most significant "bad habit" that I have picked up from running forums is to check the "who is online" page and the forum statistics way too often. I like to know what's going on at all times when it comes to my websites. :tongue: I tend to view forums a bit differently as well...

    How Much Does It Cost To Run A Forum?

    If you don't mind using free software, a cheap hosting plan and a domain wouldn't cost you much more than ~ $70/year. I use MyBB on my forum, and while I would prefer to use paid software such as Xenforo, MyBB has met my needs very well and I have been pleasantly surprised. The hardest thing...

    Automated or Manual?

    Honestly, I have to admit that if I can get away with being lazy as a webmaster, I'll take my chance with automated updates, backups, etc... However, I've learned not to really trust all "automated" systems. I recently had the task of restoring a forum that had been deleted by the webhost...

    Wordpress' closest rival?

    I have quite a lot of experience working with CMS software as well as forum software, and I've found that there are many great options out there. It often depends largely on the type of website or blog that is needed. As far as user friendliness, Wordpress is, without doubt, at the top of the...

    Best Host

    I host my latest website on Ramnode (an unmanaged VPS provider), and I can say that I have been quite pleased. Unmanaged VPS solutions aren't really for people who aren't experienced with Linux, but if your willing to spend a few days learning how to set up your server, you can really save a lot...

    How to master a programming language?

    How long it takes to "master" a language depends on many factors. Really, there is no short answer to that question. You can be very good at a programming language and still have a lot to learn, so how you define mastery also comes into play. I don't consider myself a master, but I do quite a...
