Yes I couldn't agree more with you on it, @Elseb.A couple of active members is all a forum needs to have conversations flowing, a bit of loyalty is a big thing.
The owner should be the one creating the most content personally.I'd rather see a few people posting (even if just one) than no one. It's nice to have a community large enough to sustain itself with activity, though.
Speaking of activity, I need to get more active on my own forum!!

You're right for sure. There for a while, I was on track. Then work got into the way and now I've been sick (nothing long term). I hope to get back into an activity swing here shortly.The owner should be the one creating the most content personally.
Damn right you do!! 🤣
I understand you, @Shawn Gossman, I've taken a few breaks there and there, especially since now that I have sometimes panic attacks and lucid dreams at night so yeah. My health has been declining.You're right for sure. There for a while, I was on track. Then work got into the way and now I've been sick (nothing long term). I hope to get back into an activity swing here shortly.
And sometimes we have to step back and ask ourselves why we go inactive. I decided to leave another forum (leave as staff not as a member) to help myself focus more on my things.
I've also decided to close other forums down to focus more on this one, which I think is the best one to keep around. I do have one other forum that I might try to make work but I'm really critical about it doing anything again. It used to be my "big board" at one time.
I was also blogging on two blogs every single day for about 100 days straight. Now that I've adjusted it to a few posts a week rather than one a day, I should give myself more time.
I agree
Definitely put your health before your forums.My health has been declining.
It depends on the lifecycle of the community.The owner should be the one creating the most content personally.
I'm going to challenge you on this.I personally don't even care if it's only 1 member posting, as long as they are regular and active on my community as opposed to popularity.
I think this quote from your article is the best:It depends on the lifecycle of the community.
I'm going to challenge you on this.
Its not about popularity.
It's not about activity either, which is a shallow metrics and means you're falling into the engagement trap:

It's about value. What kinds of value are you trying to deliver and measure for your objectives?
Independent communities that focus on the hard, difficult work of offering communities of indispensable value will always find growth.
