Talk about the difficulties and puzzles of Forum History Management Forum

At present, through the BBS system can obtain a variety of up-to-date information at any time, but also through the BBS system to discuss computer software, hardware, Internet, multimedia, programming and biology, medicine and other interesting topics, but also can use BBS system to publish some "friends", "cheap Transfer", "Recruit talent" and "job application" and other notices, but also can call friends and family to chat indoor talk ... This wonderful world is beside you and me, as long as you can access the campus network next to the computer, you can access the Exchange platform to enjoy its various services.

&http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/37954.html ">nbsp; In the forum you can post information, discuss, chat and so on. It's a forum for thought exchanges and collisions, and there are a lot of friends who share the same ideas and ideas.

Because of bad writing, so seldom write, only look. I do not know how many webmasters have done forums, the success of how many. Now often see people say what they want to do forum forum, and I think of "forum" two words, I have a little shudder. Not otherwise, the construction process is really simple, the installation of a successful moment, It does bring a sense of achievement, eager to do the webmaster of the forum, you are really ready?

Brief introduction: 2006 I and many people, with DZ set up a forum, to 2008 5-June, the forum Average daily Online 2-3000 people no problem, the number of posts is also 2-3000. The number of members is 20.3 million, but it was then that I closed the forum. Oh, is it stupid? Allow me one by one ways, these are definitely personal experience.

First, the direction of the forum, planning.

I'm more or less, and the reason for shutting down the site has it. Once the planning of the Forum is inaccurate, it is difficult to make changes later. Planning includes, the division of the plate, the classification of posts, membership hierarchy (especially important, the division of membership and permissions directly affect the enthusiasm of the Forum members)

Second, the Forum content accumulation

Before the forum is no one, also did not post, can only be their own to post, my original approach is in addition to their own hair and invited a backward person to pay the hair. Such a time I have at least 3 months, the post has accumulated a lot of vests countless. hahaha, I remember giving that old brother a day at least 10 vests. .

Third, the Forum's publicity

The way I advertise is nothing special, but it's all done. Personally think or go to the same industry website propaganda most effective. Because the target user group is clear. I have always felt that the site itself has not done well, to publicize. Such stationmaster is a waste of time. Since the people who come here can't stay, publicity is meaningless.

Well, there are a few people, moderators also recruited a few, seemingly small famous, the problem came. There are so many problems, I'll list several important ones.

1, put your personal energy

I think a lot of people will not be a station webmaster, there are n stations. I always thought that when the forum came to a stage, I could give it to someone else and do something else on my own. So the early days of the pain and tired, I expected, but still this later. As the founder of the Forum, you are the soul of the Forum, No one knows your forum better than you, and no one is more than willing to be responsible for the rise and fall of your forum. The intangible prestige a lot of things except you personally fencing, no one can replace. This is like the A5 of the King of the Forum, the same as the outdated fish, they have no place in their respective forum status. Unless you've been behind the scenes in the forum. The forum is inseparable from you. Don't fantasize about quitting. Unless you give up forum development.

2, hardware input and output ratio

I use the DZ Forum, the Forum every day IP2 million, PV30 million, server on the dual-line hundred megabytes exclusive room. Running this forum is no problem, But there are no other sites on this server. Especially when it comes to the peak. So I was just a standalone server dedicated to the forum. But the webmaster who did the forum know that the forum really does not make money, is no way to earn money. Google 2-3 dollars a day, alimama a few dollars a day. The sum of one months will be 2000 fast. Server's Money + managed money + is it worth the effort? But to be clear, I don't like to open ads flying websites, and I don't do that kind of site.
