Everything changes, especially in technology. Remember DOS? Remember GEM? Remember Windows 3.0? 95? NT? 2000? XP? 7? :) Remember vBulletin? Remember MySpace? 10 years from now: Remember Facebook?

All this time and there's still no implementation of an editor that preserves user-inserted spaces--or has an option to do that, other than with the unacceptable "code" tag. Simple Machines forum has been able to do this from the outset. It's vital for poetry--and for prose with first-line...

They ain't gonna come to you and build up your site. They might click "like" on those platforms, but that won't do you...

It's all down to attention: which platform provides the most (perceived) attention for members. That's what drove forums in their heyday. That's what's driving social media now. The psychological term "spotlight effect" describes well the motivation that many derive from social media activities...

Interface is largely irrelevant to users. There are only two things that matter to attract members: a topic that they're interested in and a critical mass of quality users. Behind the scenes, subtle moderation also is vital in keeping the place civil. I visit two forums that use crappy and...
