Several key issues that cannot be neglected in the establishment of forum

Forum because of its interactive and interactive strong, favored by the vast number of users, especially Dvbbs, Discuz, Phpwind and other forums, such as the emergence of the forum is to make it easy to set up a space domain name, spent nearly half an hour of time, You can easily set up your own community forum with the help of excellent forum procedures. However, such as forum positioning, integration issues, and the setting of the forum, my friends at the beginning of the forums have been considered, I am here with you ready to set up a forum Community novice Webmaster Friends simply chat about the forum's point of view.

On the orientation of the forum establishment

The main focus of the forum is to have a core topic or to have a core positioning, the most important criterion for measuring the maturity of a forum is the popularity of the forum and the atmosphere of communication, if the forum is set up in a haphazard way, when users open the forum, the user cannot see the core topic of the Forum at the first sight, unable to understand the positioning of the forum, Then perhaps the user, in addition to know that this is a forum outside the rest of the unknown, can not determine whether to get the necessary information from here, naturally will not look at the second eye, such a forum is naturally unable to retain users, not to mention the popularity and exchanges.

The positioning of the Forum to small and specialized, the so-called small, that is, positioning can not be too big, the more practical the better, if you say that you are the forum for the location of a person to communicate with the site, so what internet people to communicate it? What is it that they communicate? This positioning is a failure, but also large and virtual, the forum's positioning is too large is equivalent to no positioning. The so-called special, is to confirm the core topic of the Forum, to the topic of all aspects are taken into account, such as to establish a network management communication forum, then the network management involved in everything to have a platform for communication here. Put a very small topic in all aspects involved, and then the layout of the reasonable settings, when the user opened the forum, the first sight can see the things provided here, at the same time vision and range, everything. If the Forum discussed the topic just users interested, then the user will naturally have a sense of encounter, immediately registered landing.

The Forum should establish the integral mechanism of virtuous circle

Man is the product of the combination of social attribute and natural attribute, and the recognition of others is the natural attribute of human being's innate nature. Users in the forum in addition to get real things, but also to their own title points and other things more concerned about, everyone in a forum to exchange learning, who want in this common circle can be recognized by others. and whether it can be recognized, lies in his contribution to other users or forums, how to determine the contribution of users? Integration mechanism is the most commonly used way, through the perfect integration mechanism to guide users, contributing users will naturally have corresponding points feedback, but also can be used to issue a forum medal, The establishment has the special authority the user group and so on to give the user more affirmation and the approval.

A good integration mechanism does not establish a virtuous circle integration mechanism on behalf of the Forum. In addition to the increase in integration, but also to consider the cost of integration, with the development of the forum, many users have reached a certain level of integration, points to the user's stimulation and certainly will be greatly reduced, so in the introduction of the integration mechanism at the same time, Must consider the consumption of integral, wool out in the sheep, if you can form so that users in the forum to get points, and then through the user points to "buy" forum "products" to consume points, for the forum, that is, the establishment of a virtuous circle of the integration mechanism.

The forum should be set from the "One Flower alone show" to the "Blossom" transition

Many users in the forum set up, a one-time open n sections, so virtually is the popularity of the evacuation. Forum to establish the initial stage, the section should be as little as possible, the topic and popularity together, the main push one to two sections, when pushed one to two plate popularity up, so that the entire forum has an exchange of atmosphere, and then according to the needs of users and the actual situation of the forum to add a corresponding plate, from the "One Flower alone show" transition to "blossom."

In addition to the above mentioned, the promotion of the Forum and management issues, the author is not here to elaborate, the above is only the author's personal views, I hope to novice friends have a hint of inspiration, welcome friends to criticize. (
