Should I get rid of my forum on my website?

[jdab]

I have a gaming blog but the forum is not that active, do you think I should get rid of it?

Use the blog to promote the forum.

Oh and my anti V gave me a trojan warning on that link

The main site is the blog, the forum is an add-on.

And I'm getting it sorted.

You have quite a few posts on the forum, and good number of members, they just need a KUTA, also you may need to inject some content to get the discussion moving again

Leave it as it is, and care less about the forum. When you care less, even few posts will look good. But when you die hardly want posts, you can't concentrate well on blog.

I say do what you want, I think the blog will do ok, but not great as you will need to be posting a lot of content a day for people to stay around which unless it's your job, one man can't do alone!

For me, if the blog is the main site, the forum is add-on, and the forum doesn't truly go well even though you have put great effort there, perhaps you can start reconsidering the need of a forum. Maybe visitors are more interested to read the news and articles at the blog than the forum. That way it will be better for you to take down the forum and concentrate in building the blog.

Don't go for a full community on your forum. Set up your forum as a place for readers of your blog to discuss the blog, talk about the articles/news you post (because comments don't allow for much discussion), but leave it at that. Don't try to be a huge gaming forum, let your blog be the primary part of your site and the forum can help keep your community of readers together.

Great response, thanks for this, I may change the categories around to work with the blog 🙂 if I need a second opinion I will message you :great:

For what you're trying to say, I can't see the reason why it doesn't. You will still be able to reply to others with most scripts and maybe even get an email when new replies arrive.
