My personal opinions on the future of the Forum

The author witnessed the rise and fall of the NetEase forum five years ago as a senior manager of the NetEase forum. At this time, I am on duty to give full play to my experience, give some personal suggestions, and try my best. After repeated consideration, we decided to adopt a symbolic transfer of fees to maintain personal livelihood, and to receive due attention. The fee is 1000 RMB. If you have any intention to adopt the service, please contact QQ: 20752265
1. Forum + webpage mode is the future trend.
In general, web pages have the objective advantages of large page views and high authority, while forums have the comparative advantages of wide participation and strong interaction. Because of this, the future of Forum development lies in the complementary advantages of Forum + web pages. Of course, it is also one of the basic models of various sections of the Future website. The forum created by this module has the advantage of a large amount of authority, and the webpage associated with the forum can also be highly interactive.
2. The feasibility of Forum + webpage operations.
Specifically, you can add Forum content on the relevant webpage, such as daily comments and Monday comments. Of course, hot posts and zones are required, in the news area, a [participate in discussion] Button is added after each piece of news to the forum. Open a News area in the forum, or press the system specialist to post news, and set the [browse more news] button on the forum to go directly to the relevant news webpage. In this way, in the webpage area, we can ensure the enthusiasm of netizens for participating in the discussion of news, while in the forum we can avoid repeated news. Of course, this will increase the popularity of forums and webpages.
3. Module commercialization.
After implementing this module, what needs to be promoted is commercialization. To attract more experts to the forum, appropriate material incentives are required. Only commercialization can ensure the lasting appeal of the Forum. Webpage-based advertisements and forum-based advertisements are only common models. We can introduce articles from military magazines to the forum for discussion to promote a win-win situation for mutual popularity. Of course, it will be the submission and appointment later.
4. Forum remuneration plan.
After commercialization, in addition to obtaining paid contributions from relevant magazines and newspapers, part of the advertising revenue will be used to give back to the public. Generally, only feedback is given to members. The feedback plan includes rewards for original users and positive discussion groups. Original users can actively discuss groups based on performance and posting quality, you can set a lower limit of points for a lucky draw, and then set a lower limit for an active lottery to achieve positive feedback as long as you actively participate in the forum.
5. Offline activities are supported.
For the network, without the strong support of actual activities, it will basically be in a dry state and will not achieve the vivid and moving effect. Therefore, we should not only set up hobby groups in reality, but also actively carry out a variety of interesting offline activities, including local gatherings, one-day tours, and other topics. Such a forum makes the majority of users need their favorite forums and websites.
All in all, meeting the needs of netizens to the greatest extent is the key to forum development.
