    Created my site in 1997 and struggled through many forum solutions till I found you in 2005, all these years later I have no regrets. Thank you and Congratulations on your Anniversary.

    There's no built in way, but you can use the Zapier filters for this

    Regarding their advertising, maybe. But it is actually not really reflected in the product itself. The apps and the features are still very much rooted in the traditional niche/hobby forum world and continue to work well there. There is some advanced stuff for something like a corporate support community, but most of the features are still typical for niche communities, like a forum for a car brand with user galleries, clubs, discussions to maintain the specific models and so on. It can still work well, but starting fresh now will mean a significant investment. Real-world example: My youngest community project started in 2016 with social media and apps already well established. (In fact, I created it specifically because I was so annoyed by people in that niche using Facebook groups.) Building the community website took 4 years until I even started to monetize it. Now it has over 100,000 members and pays for itself. (The secret was what I said in my first post: I added something to the website that users in my niche needed so much that they would register to get it. All other tips – as mentioned in the original blog post – are correct and useful too, but that one thing was 90% of the success.)

     
    I argued before that the distinction between forums and social media is misleading, as it is about scale not type of website:

    Pointing to the “king” is kind of irrelevant to me, just as the indie hard rock band doesn’t point to Justin Bieber album sales. If the band is happy and their audience is happy, the big players don’t matter. Niche communties are small(er) by definition. Nothing wrong with that. Chances are, the most active members of our communities stay loyal to us for years to come while they might have already deleted their Facebook account. 😉

    Great message @Matt, its amazing to see how far things have come, and I'm proud to say I've been along for most of the ride starting in 2003, back when I was part of a gaming clan.  We needed a place to communicate, and the cobbled-together .NET website we had just wasn't cutting it.  Later on, I used it for a local car club which lasted until everyone's lives moved on, and eventually to run a business!  We are coming up on our 10th year in business on March 1st, all the while using a website built exclusively on Nexus/IPCommerce, Downloads, and Pages!
    We are very grateful for the love and dedication you put into your products, and look forward to another 20 years!

    These are the types of updates that make me feel I made the right decision switching to Invision for my sites. I'm an SEO by trade, so baking this functionality into the software, and continuing to improve it, are essential for me.
    Thank you!

    Rules are handled via extensions, so 3rd party apps will be able to implement own rules in their apps :)
