A Question To This Community - Forums
Posted 19 April 2008 - 05:14 PM
Do not consider this as just another ploy to get traffic onto my site.
I honestly want feedback.
Ever since I was young I had the dream of operating a forum like the ones I would go on, the millions of users and the one admin with the iron fist who is worshipped like a god.
The flamewars, the constant delivery of content, the idea and the feeling of being part of a community of actual people.
The thought of being this worshipped lord admin intrigued me so much, having a legion of people to attack on flame to defend their precious admin.
The power I wanted was similar to how a drug abuser might feel.
I had a strong urge for this ultimate power.
Years pass.
I buy a domain, I get together a team of my good friends...
THEN IT BEGINS!
The curse.
The late nights I spent constantly refreshing the who's online panel, looking for new guests or possible registrations, eye'ing new users so carefully.
Re-trying board layouts after board layouts after board layouts, NEVER STOPPING, like a addict my grades drop and everything else in life is worthless.
I care beyond what words can describe about my community, wanting to be SUPERIOR than other forums, WANTING TO BE HAILED by members!
The late nights continue constantly, anger and rage, I cry in anger and passion so much I want to break and destroy, but I am stopped.
Constant changes in forum software, the constant lines of php code running through my brain, all I can think of is the forum.
The template changes, the forum changes, deleted, reinstalled, thrown away, regained, attacked, loved, hated.
Pain and anger is all I feel.
For my true and only dream in life is this.
Registering on so many forums, I NEVER STOP, the rage, bloodshot eyes at 4 AM.
My parents always questioning why they see a board and me just refreshing and refreshing.
I post and I post, I advertise and I advertise.
Will it ever stop?
Will it?
Features implemented, features removed, life lost, hope gained.
What is the end goal?
For I am just another...
Paranoid
Lonely
Hopeless
Admin.
Is it love for the forum or is it love for the community?
Behind it all it is just for the community.
For I am just another...
Paranoid
Lonely
Hopeless
Admin.
Is it hate or is it love?
Why do I spend oh-so-much time?
For I am just another...
Paranoid
Lonely
Hopeless
Admin.
Will it stop?
What is wrong? Who am I?
For I am just another...
Paranoid
Lonely
Hopeless
Admin.
I post and post I post and post.
I make up almost 95% of the forums posts.
Why?
Why am I just another...
Paranoid
Lonely
Hopeless
Admin.
Well who knows?
The ideas never stop.
Maybe some good will come out of this, maybe some day I will have the community I beg for.
For I am just another...
Paranoid
Lonely
Hopeless
Admin.
Lost in the grips of web 2.0, with the internet users wanting more, who am I but just another admin.
<3 goes out to all others in my situation.

To answer your question it never stops.

Or one of the biggest security forums on earth allowing you to affiliate with them.

ouch touche, sorry bud no affiliations, but write a good article and we will post it on the main site.
Include a link to your site in it, I think that is a nice and easy proposition.

I think your addiction is leading to a very bad mental state.
You can become crazy or depressed going on like this.
There are otherperhaps more productiveways of enjoying yourself, such as reading, doing arts and crafts, participating in healthful sports, singing, or learning to play a musical instrument.
The most important thing is YOURSELF, not the FORUM.
You are looking to be a master, but you are becoming a SLAVE.
Consider the possibility of not touching computer for some days and then think again about what you were doing.
Wish you the best!

Oh, now we come to the business :P
I was admin on some boards as well, and yeah, when they are small and have an ambitious leader, he sometimes might become addicted to that.
Get over this stage, or you'll never have phun with it.
