From the stragglers and Stationmaster station to see the Forum development

Back to the past, 4 years of Harvest is learned a point technology such as ASP.

has been interested in the site model is BBS, so today on the BBS to do a study ~

im286 and Chinaz is I have dabbled in two Webmaster class site, k666 times I did not catch ...

Understandable, im286 and Chinaz are very successful webmaster station, strengths, I only talk today about two of the problems faced by the community to analyze the development model of the Forum.
Both community popularity is good, webmaster station is the core of download, the core of the outdated is free.

I think this is the core gravity of each forum, it is necessary to do the forum, otherwise the first step is failure. The initial popularity of each forum is gathered by the characteristics, no special forum is difficult to attract people, the presence of people.

As long as the professional, investment, the characteristics of the forum around the popularity will slowly climb, it can be said that at this time will reach the peak of the forum, a large number of new members in the old member of the lead/introduction/publicity into the discussion, but also will be derived from a variety of things, such as Webmaster station AD, outdated ridicule.

This is the inevitable outcome of the development of the Forum, as the saying goes: The forest big what birds have! At this point the discussion atmosphere will be reduced, if the managers do not intervene, the Forum will soon lose its features. At the same time, if the managers ' interference is improper/too tough, the same will cause negative effects, leading to a large number of members of the boycott and leave. So this is the critical period of the forum, is a turning point. In this chaotic state, the forum is easy to completely lose direction, the peak of the Forum more need to grasp the direction of the webmaster.

Stationmaster station and fall behind can say now all is in the same period.
Chinaz face is the full of ad, outdated face is the popularity of ridicule.

First, Chinaz.

The friends I met in Chinaz 04 years ago are almost no longer there now. Because Chinaz open registration leads to the emergence of a large number of ad IDs, if there is no need to find the things/people will be tired of, who would like to communicate with strangers?
At the same time, the emergence of this state of Chinaz with the commercialization of a great relationship, in the planning community should be a user-friendly platform, but Chinaz more pursuit of corporate or commercial.
It can be said that the commercial development of Chinaz community than Tianya/csdn and so on, in the forum structure as long as can be developed places are put on advertising, and many people in the Chinaz advertising as a credit standard. These have undeniably led to the decline of Chinaz credit environment, trade is by Word-of-mouth, advertising is just guidance.
Before the Sky Chinaz Forum, see To repair AD Bulletin, in fact, need to repair the root of the problem is not ad but to grasp the core of the forum, ask webmaster Station Now what is the characteristics? If there is a prominent communication place, how can I show the ad? Why didn't you face the problem of ad in the past?
This is the forum webmaster need to explore the root of the place.
Delete the post, seal ID is the symptom not cure.

Being behind the date and saying it's outdated

It seems that the exchange atmosphere is very harmonious, everyone you top my friends a lot of.
But look at the title list, it's all mjj and stuff.
But on the surface it looks much better than Chinaz. After all, the discussion atmosphere is some, ad accidentally has also been deleted.
This is mainly due to the outdated ID audit mechanism.
But what about the core of the outdated forum? Behind the original is to communicate with the webmaster places, of course, including ridicule, but more attention should be technical exchanges.
It's hard to see these things today, as a free resource that starts as a feature.

Although the outdated problem without webmaster station AD crisis as intuitive, but the communication of the circle/low quality can not be ignored.
Falling behind is gradually narrowing down into a small group of people and mostly non-technical topics.
New members to outdated ad can not send, exchange people and ignore? Will you come again?

Outdated and webmaster stations are successful communities, they face the problem may be every small webmaster do not care.
But the core of Community model is the construction and maintenance of user stickiness.
Lose the core, will lose the user stickiness, talk about how to communicate?
