Does social media help forums or destroy them?

[saoussen57651]

Actually social media do really helped alot of forums most especially those that are legit and doing well tonit members and also destroy such site that are not straight forward in there dealings.

It depends about what people share about websites, in half of cases it is false reviews. But sometimes there is legit reviews so you cannot differenciate between them in half of the cases.

At least son forum owners can still advertise their forums on social media. But i think social media is reducing the number of people that should be on forum website

The both of them are ways in which you can meet people to interact but then social media does not share their revenue with you even though you are the ones creating content.

 

[Alisco]

Social media can do both,it can destroy forum's and it can help grow forum's. All depends on the content being posted about a particular forum

 

[Syldan]

I think the way you developed, operate and manage your website determine how the social media platforms can promote you to the wider world. when you manage good, definitely it will promote.

 

[Alisco]

Lack of Popularity, lack of quality information, dull back ground and write up, Can stop people from using your forum, but when your forum can solve people's problem with quality information, people will always come in.

Exactly,you point out in details what I said about social media helping or decorating online business. It totally dependent on negativity or positivity of the content posted about online business.

In my opinion social media is a very powerful platform if used in a correct way it can boost your business to a place which is beyond your imgaination. If forum sites somehow sucessed to get attract the correct audience in social media and make them feel the its importance and the benefit then it will be a awesome success because the ability reaching audience through social media is mutiple times fast than anyother path. Once anything goes viral on social media it can become a great success over a single night.

Social media can definitely improve the visibility of your site but you'll have to ensure it's properly done else there'll be no results as expected. Things have changed from how they were before.

I believe social media generally helps forum and not destroy them. Most people make use of social media to promote their forums. I don't see how social media can destroy one's forum.

I believe that should shall media and forums are completely different things and they can be able to exist independently. Social media is more like public while forums is for people with like minds.

definitely, social media is having some form of impact but as well you can also say social media is helping forums to grow as well if you know how to properly use it to your advantage.

The concurrent websites social media pages could wrongly spread false informations about your websites and this is how it could destroy them and this is bad fact of using it if you are spreading rumors. Take time to respond to all of them needs a life.

to defame someone now is very easy and the damage that can be done would be very hard to undo, as the rate at which it would go viral would be very over whelming as well

 

[Genie011]

Social media and forums are similar even though they have wide differences.
Forums have double advantage compared to social media. It might most likely reduce the use of social media in the future.

you are right by saying forums are more like a close minded place as people of same mind tend to co exist on a particular forum but not on social media that has lots of users on their platform.

 

[Popular]

Social media do have advantages and disadvantages to forums, in the sense that it's makes a forum known to the general public but also is a tool which is easily used to defame a forum.

 

[Georgeadawara1]

If you use social media to promote your forum, it helps. But generally, I believe social media destroys forums because nowadays, majority of people prefer social media over forums.

Yes you're absolutely right by saying this, I believe this days most people spend there time on social media platforms than the website, one can only promote his website using social media account.

 

[Ronny_4son]

If you have a forum, and you have a twitter and Instagram page and facebook page for it, what stops people from using those social media posts instead of your forum?

Social media exposes your forum to a larger audience who can also contribute and bring their own points of view, which could be beneficial to the forum as a whole. The demerit is that social media then brings in people who could ruin the forum by spamming etc

 

[Kane]

I don't think social media sites are the competitors of the forums. Social media and forums are two different platforms and each of these platforms caters to its own specific audience. The motives of social sites and forums are different

 

[Shortie]

I will admit that I do think social media has had somewhat of an effect on forums but I wouldn't say it has destroyed them. Social media is completely different from forums in that you can have different sections for different discussions regarding different things. Both forums and social media whilst they may seem alike are definitely not as much alike as many think and whilst there are still people out there that use forums as well as social media, forums will continue to thrive.
