Having a forum for daily threads can allow you to keep certain topics such as good morning/good night topics, what time you went to bed topics and such can help to keep all those topics in one place and easily accessible.
Do you have a forum for daily threads? If not, would you consider having one?
I have a General Chat thread that people post in. Not necessarily daily. I prefer that over the simple Good Morning/ Good Night topics as they tend to merge the ideas together. People can say Good Morning but also chat about what's going on with them.
Forums have categories that fit well with what people want to post about, as long as it's posted in the right categories and not rule-breaking. The off-topic area is common as it's a plus to talk about anything off-related topic that the forums is based on, and so talk about dogs and cats then.
Also, I do get members and have seen it happen that people join to deal and yet they might not be good on the subject in hand example gaming, those people or that person may not be into gaming and so they can able to post in an off-topic area.
Keeping up with new topics and having replies in them can be hard with no members
MY forums are mainly focused on discussion on evergreen topics, therefore, I do not prefer to have daily thread, forum games or even time-sensitive news.
