SF is Under New Ownership!

by James on April 26, 2011

Hi All,

I’m the new owner of SuccessfulForum.com!

Who am I?

My name is James Seligman; I’ve owned and operated several forums dating back almost 7 years. My first forum that I started in 2004 is still up and active today. I hope I can share a little bit of my knowledge to make your forum a successful forum.

What can you except?

You can expect blog post covering a wide range of forum topics, as well as interviews, coding issues, and more.

If there is something you would like me to write about, drop me an email.

Future Plans:

As you can see we have a new theme up and running and will be making more changes in the next couple of days and weeks.

I am rewriting the Successful Forum “How to Monetize Your Forum” eCourse.

More use of Twitter and Facebook

Maybe a contest or two!

Adding a forum directory and an admin discussion forum. (Still debating)

 

I look forward to hearing you comments and suggestions.

James

Successful Forum Hosting + My Absence

by James on September 4, 2010

I would just like to take this post to talk about a few things which are happening with the blog.

My Absence

As you have probably noticed there is a lack of blog posts for the last month. It was just the summer there and being a student IT can be hard to fit everything into your schedule, even now that I am back at education I am still finding it very difficult.

Also over the last few weeks I have been feeling under the weather therefore have a lack of energy and general de-motivation but things are starting to look more positive.

Successful Forum Hosting

Successful Forum is going under a huge revamp. It got taken down last week and work started to begin on the site. I decided to spice it up with a web 2.0 look it will look great.

At the moment I don’t have an ETA on it, it will definitely be before the end of the year, once I have a better estimation I will put a nice funky countdown script on it.

Toying Of The Idea of a Job Board

I am toying with the idea on whether I should install a job board to the community. Basically, you would list what jobs you require for a fixed price and I would advertise them throughout the Successful Forum community. This would include on the Job board its self and the Successful Forum Newsletter (If you are not a member join now.)

A MyBB Tutorial Video Series

A MyBB tutorial series was began work on late last week and it will be a ten video series on just different things you can do on MyBB. I don’t want to give too much away, be sure to be Subscribed to the SuccessfulForum Youtube Channel to get the latest information.

Posts Will Continue On Monday

I will schedule the first post for September on Monday so stay tuned.
