Do you think that you money is one factor that can make a forum grow. I personally feel it is necessary because you might need to advertise massively and pay for articles/posts for your forum to grow.
you’ll need to have some level of finance there to be able to keep your site running. In terms of growth if you want to add new features or softwares these usually cost money so I’d say you need to have a little bit of finance there.
I think money plays a significant role in a forum's growth. Investing in advertising and quality content can help attract new members and keep the community engaged. However, it's also about building genuine connections and fostering a welcoming atmosphere that keeps people coming back.
No, I will work for ways to finance my forum, if my forum isn't funding itself. Right now I fund the forum out of my pocket for our ongoing promotions.
