Keep. Chugging. Along.
It's up to YOU as the admin to try to create content on your site. To expect others to flock to it and create the initial content (especially in this day and age of instant gratification of society) is not a winning proposition.

I'm not the best in the world at writing articles... I can give you a kick ass offense report dealing with an arrest or such... but I'm not as good at my niche in articles currently... but I still try.

It's hard to stay motivated IMO especially in a world where social media is king and no one uses forums much. I am not giving up, but have super low expectations for any new forums nowadays sadly.

Hardest thing with my niche (especially right now) is the crappy weather. No good weather, not good captures and no good discussions created by me.

I always do my best, but I find it very sad that some people on sites like this one bash and criticize those who worked their tail off putting a forum together.

So many people give up on their forums too soon, long before it can really shine. A community is only as good as you make it, if you put in the effort to add new posts and threads every day you can bring more people in.

That's what I've been doing since. I just wish someone would just give me some kind of welcomed advice on AJ. Instead, I got no help.

I’m curious, who bashes your sites here? We don’t bash any site and we always try to provide some good feedback. So your comment is a bit unfair to me.
