Admin Well-being How to Identify and Develop the Next Generation of Forum Leaders

[Shawn Gossman]

Many of us who run forums know each other on here, right?

It's because we've been running forums forever. Let's face it. Many of us are from the generation of those from when forums first got big.

There is a big problem there! Younger generations aren't into forums as much as we are. That's not a good thing for forums or the longevity of software providers. If everyone who's into forums have already got their licenses and no one else is buying them, why should the platform stick around? They're not making any significant money.

So, what can we do, as a forum-loving community, to identify and develop the next generation of forum owners?

If you have children, maybe see if you can get them interested in forums! Heck I know there's a few teenagers on Sonic Retro, so there's still young people online who think forums are cool.
