The Monthly Spotlight (September 2023 Edition)

[MrDawn]

Welcome to our September Edition of The Monthly Spotlight! From time to time we will be spotlighting a forum or blog in order to allow the FP community to be introduced to new sites or get reacquainted with existing sites. Without further ado, let's announce September's Spotlight! 💡

My fav part of running a forum is a faith that one day I might have a very active forum with a good community to go with. Without that hope, I truly believe it is pointless in being a forum owner. 😛

How did you come across Forumotion?

 

[Katrina]

When will you be designing a logo?

How did you come across Forumotion?

My first encounter with forumotion was around 2008 probably. At that time forums were much hyped and everybody had them. Golden era of forums. I started last year doig my own projects here and there. Run and close until I found way to promote forum and it seems it worked now. Now I can gather more and more people.

When will you be designing a logo?

I am unsure about that because I don't know any forum that does it for free. Sadly I am stuck with these letters for now.. 😱 😳

What's your favourite part about using Forumotion? What features do you enjoy on your forum?

What's your favourite part about using Forumotion? What features do you enjoy on your forum?

I enjoy the ability to alter almost everything. You can play around with it if you are good at coding. Gives me that liberty.

If you had the money would you ever consider using something like Xenforo, IPB, vBulletin?

If mentioned this in interview on one forum, if I have more stable community and money to pay "forever", then yes. But I would need to start all over with data since FM doesn't give you DB.

Yeah unfortunately I know some people also on Proboards who would love to go on paid software but they would also lose their stuff. 🙁

How easy do you find advertising this forum and do you find that you are limited due to the software/hosting you use?

 

[The Raven92]

I don't feel limited with software I am using. There are things I would like to be better but it is as it is. But still it is pretty good.
Advertisement is easy with forum like this one 😀

I'll have to check how to apply that because initial theme was done by other person. I just altered colors, added new features, repositioned. Will ask him how to make it fit. Thanks for your trouble.

Are you using pink or blue? I noticed when I'm on my laptop, there is pink/dark gray and then on mobile it's blue and dark gray.

I can't quite answer you that question because I have color impairment issues. I have green/red shades distinction difficulties. And sometimes with other colors too. 😀

 

[Ravenfreak]

Have you thought about purchasing a domain name for your forum?

Have you thought about purchasing a domain name for your forum?

Yes I have but it is too early for that because the activity is not high enough.
