Several issues that cannot be ignored when operating local forums

Today, there are countless forums on the internet, large and small. But how many forums can really withstand the popularity?

If the business method is incorrect and the interaction is not strong enough, it will lead to no popularity. Let's talk about some of my questions about local forums:

Because of its strong interaction and interactivity, the Forum is favored by many users, especially the emergence of Forum programs such as dvbbs, discuz, and phpwind makes it easy to set up forums and prepare domain names for space, over nearly half an hour, you can easily build your own community forums with excellent forum programs. However, questions such as forum positioning, points, and forum settings have been taken into consideration by all of you at the beginning of the Forum, here, I will share my thoughts on the forum with new webmasters who are preparing to set up the Forum community.

 

Positioning problems at the beginning of Forum Establishment

 

The Forum mainly emphasizes that the Forum should have a core topic or a core positioning. The most important criterion for measuring the maturity of a forum is the forum's popularity and communication atmosphere, after a user opens a forum, the user cannot see the core topic of the Forum at first glance and cannot understand the positioning of the Forum. Therefore, the user may not know anything except that the Forum is a forum, we cannot determine whether we can obtain the required information from here. Naturally, we will not look at it again. Such a forum will naturally be unable to retain users, so we will not be able to talk about the popularity and communication.

 

The positioning of the forum should be small and specialized. The so-called "small" means that the positioning should not be too big. The more practical, the better. If you say that the positioning of your forum is a place for Internet users to communicate with each other, which internet users can communicate? What are they talking about? This positioning fails, but it is also big and virtual. If the positioning of the Forum is too big, it is equivalent to no positioning. After confirming the core topic of the forum, we need to consider all aspects of the topic. For example, we want to establish a network management exchange forum, therefore, all network management involves a communication platform. We have covered all aspects of a very small topic, and then made reasonable settings for the layout. When users open the Forum, they can see what is provided here at the first glance, at the same time, you can see everything in your eyesight. If users are interested in the topics discussed in the Forum, they will naturally feel a sense of mutual sorrow and immediately register for login.

 

The Forum should establish a virtuous circle of Points Mechanism

 

People are the product of the combination of social attributes and natural attributes, and the recognition of others is a natural attribute inherent in people. In addition to getting real things in the Forum, users will also pay more attention to their title points and other things. Everyone will exchange and learn in one forum, everyone wants to be recognized by others in this common circle. Whether it can be recognized is the contribution of the user to other users or forums. How can we determine the contribution of the user? The point-based mechanism is naturally the most common method. Through a sound and reasonable point-based mechanism, users who make contributions will naturally receive corresponding points for feedback, at the same time, you can also issue a forum medal and create user groups with special permissions to give users more recognition and recognition.

 

A good point increase mechanism does not mean that the Forum has established a virtuous circle of Points mechanism. In addition to the increase in points, we also need to consider the consumption of points. With the development of the Forum, when the points of many users reach a certain height, the stimulation and discount of the points will be greatly reduced. Therefore, when introducing the Points Mechanism, you must consider the consumption of points, if a user can post on a forum to earn points, the user can use the points to "buy" Forum "and" product "to consume the points. for the Forum, that is, the credit mechanism of a virtuous circle has been established.

 

Forum settings should transition from "one flower standalone" to "hundred flowers bloom"

 

After setting up a forum, many users can open N Forum sections at a time, which virtually removes popularity. At the initial stage of Forum establishment, the Forum should be as few as possible. Topics and popularity should be concentrated in one forum to two forums. When one or two forums are popular, after giving the entire Forum an atmosphere of communication, we will add corresponding Forum sections based on the user's needs and the actual situation of the Forum. The transition from "one flower outshines" to "One hundred flowers bloom ".

 

In addition to the above, Forum promotion and management issues, the Webmaster (Wuyi installation and repair network) will not elaborate here one by one. The above is just the webmaster's personal opinion, hoping to inspire new friends, thank you for your criticism. Welcome to Wuyi decoration Network | BBS for communication.
