What advice would you give to a community owner/leader wanting to give up?

Can you not understand that people use forums differently than your one use case?!

lol my forum is for me and a few buddies. It’s a personal site, like others have been trying to tell you.

Then you should have opened a WhatsApp or Telegram group and not format!
the forum was designed by the way...
obviously everyone does what they want but it's like buying a Ferrari and not driving it, it makes little sense...

Who died and made you Forum Enforcer?! Hey, let me see your badge!

You're making little sense, lol.

Obviously he only cares about his opinion. His lack of respect is ridiculous. If he wouldn't be so ignorant, most replies would be a lot different.

Just because our approach differs from yours @Ricsca doesn’t make it invalid.
Active users and daily posts are great, but they aren’t the sole indicators of a forum’s value or success. Some users prefer quality over quantity, finding value in thoughtful discussions rather than a high volume of posts.

It’s also worth noting that forums, like any platform, evolve. What worked 20 years ago might not be the same as today, and that’s perfectly okay. Everyone’s experience and preferences are different.

Adapt or be gone.

The confirmation that you say everything is the opposite of everything! You just wrote that forms evolve and that what worked twenty years ago does not work today! I have said many times that forms are stuck 20 years ago and for this reason today they attract few people and for this reason they should evolve and a great responsibility is placed on the fact that they are not advanced programmers! I understand well that you do not have the slightest conception of what it means to manage a large community but those who manage large communities have significant costs and therefore also need to find sponsors who pay and form an active sound who would be willing to pay?

I don’t understand why you seem so miserable, mad and insufferable. You mad, bro?

I give up, lol. There is no point in arguing with this guy.

It's funny that I don't come down to justify you anymore, you change the subject too and try to attack me personally

 

[Rusty Snippets]

Wow, I give up too.
