Hello Everyone, JoelR from IPS

[JoelR]

Hello Forum Promotion 🙂

My name is Joel R, and I'm a regular visitor to other online administration communities. For some reason, I never joined Forum Promotion (shocking!).

I'm a client of IPS so I'll be happy to help anyone with that software. I'm also a certified community manager who regularly writes blog posts for IPS on things like competitive strategy and elements of value, so I love diving into the strategies of managing communities.

Joel

I only manage one community (and that's enough! Whew!). I have a regular job so the community is a side hobby, although I've tried to develop it as professionally as possible. It's a small community in a lil' corner of the web. It gets about 40,000 visitors a month.

LOL, sorry for the lingo.

IPS is the name of the company but the community software is Invision Community.

It was originally IPB (I think there was another name before that) which was Invision Power Board, and then, they expanded it to a suite of various things (blogs, shops, etc.), etc. and made IPB part of that.

I believe it was called the Invision Power Suite or something, but it ended up getting renamed to Invision Community.

It's been around forever as a top competitor to vB and partly XenForo (although, they don't seem to be pursuing a suite and seem to target a more business oriented audience?, so they're not exactly a direct competitor).
