Hello forum owners,How can we compete with Facebook and twitter?

Yes it is time to think and find new weapons that can pull
Facebook [font=Verdana]addicted[/font] users and twitter lovers
change their mind and come to hung up on your forum you admin.
Before Facebook and twitter we had no competitions. Users were
able to pay for chat rooms, pay for sending private messages to
friends. Some websites had limits on time a user can stay on
website for free. Only premium members were able to access all
website features without a limit.
Today convincing a person to stay on your forum can be some
thing difficult because this user has multiple account on
Facebook and multiple account on twitter since it is free to
access all features on those social networks.
I guess many forum owners have aim of making some profit from
those forums so they have to think about how they can survive
online. If you do not think how you can survive with your forum
business you can find yourself you are out of ground. You create
a forum today then tomorrow will be your forum death day because
you will fail to run your forum. People never create a post on
your forum,people never come back to your forum they leave you
alone attending the forum daily ha ha ha ha!
So let us discuss how we can add value to our forums so that
online population can ignore using Facebook and twitter instead
let them come to your forum hourly and create posts for your
forum growth. Also let Us discuss how we can monetize our forums
so that we can survive online and improve the services we offer
to forum users.
Why not start an online forum and became your viable business?
But is it possible?

This is the real fact, see from when I wrote this topic (Read
244 times)
But no one replied. People do not interact on forums I do not
why? But these same users create contents for Facebook and
twitter daily. May be one will interact with me on this topic.
Waiting...........

Your confusion is not knowing the 'real' difference between a
forum and a social media environment.
They are clearly and well defined two different things.
We are living in an 'instant gratification' world. No longer do
people have patience to wait for or read thru multiple articles
of information to find an answer.
Sponsor a giveaway via a forum, and watch your numbers climb in
'give me something for nothing' entries. With any luck, you'll
get 1% of those entries to return as regulars to your forum.
Forums are clearly a left over of the old BBS days.

I do wish to reply
1. Much of what you see appearing in a Facebook group is utter
nonsense. Such as: "I had toast for breakfast," followed son
after by "12 likes."
2. Facebook only shows a small percentage of stuff to your
followers. If you want more followers to see it you have to pay
to "boost" your post.
3. Some of Facebook's business practices are "dubious" at best
since they set about monetizing their site which produces
nothing at all.
4. Facebook can, and do, shut down pages and groups without
warning. You have no ultimate control over anything you do
there.
5. Facebook has become a sea of targeted advertising.
I could continue this rant but I'm mindful my writing here could
be around for many years to come - searchable, and easily found
on Google, unlike anything posted on Facebook where it will
rapidly be swallowed up by pictures of someone's cat they
continue to post - repeatedly!

Forums can be rather successful if you find a proper niche to
fill, and find a way to advertize to that niche.
