So what is BBS?

The English full name of BBS is Bulletin Board System, and Chinese translation is "bulletin board system". BBS was first used to publish information such as stock prices. At that time, BBS didn't even have the function of file transfer, so it could only run on Apple computer. Early BBS, like bulletin boards on the street and on campus, only spread or obtained news through computers. It was not until personal computers began to spread, and some people tried to transfer BBS from Apple computers to personal computers, that BBS began to spread gradually. In recent years, due to the efforts of fans, the functions of BBS have been greatly expanded.

At present, all kinds of latest information can be obtained at any time through BBS system; You can also discuss computer software, hardware, Internet, multimedia, programming, biology, medicine and other topics of interest with others through the BBS system. You can also use the BBS system to issue some notices such as "recruiting friends", "cheap transfer", "recruiting talents" and "job hunting". You can also gather friends and relatives to chat in the chat room ... This wonderful world is right beside you and me. As long as there is a computer next to you that can access the campus network, you can enter this communication platform and enjoy its services.

[Purpose of the Forum]

[Disadvantages of the Forum]

With the development of the times and the emergence of new human beings, forums have also become a new type of words or some informal words spread rapidly.

For example: Bambusa bambusa (host) ... a pot of water (irrigation), sofa (first reply), bench, (second reply)

Therefore, please pay attention to avoid the spread of irregular words when communicating.

Seven methods of common forum management:

The above views are just the personal humble opinion of the director of onion website. When you build a website or forum, what do you want to see, but how much and what is your investment? It is money, energy, time, wisdom and manpower. What does a website do well? Professional, professional talents, professional perspective, professional thinking! Websites and forums are not industries, but development, not short-term benefits. If the website makes money, if there are no good projects, it will be through pop-ups and plug-ins, but this is not a long-term solution; How many editors were there when you said you were going to make a website? How many editors? How much effort have you made to achieve your goal? Is that clear? The same is true of good forums. How many online members do you have? Are your goals clear? Without making it clear, it is impossible to move forward if you hesitate in wandering; I hope you can support Onion Net and share your experiences and opinions. Please forgive me if you are wrong.

First of all, talk about how to make a good forum ~

First, actively reply to posts, so that members' posts can be answered in time;

Respond to the posts of new members and old members in time to enhance the interactivity of the forum. It is also the most basic work of the forum to raise awareness through one-to-one and many-to-one ways, to answer the questions of new members and old members in time technically, and to respond to the questions raised by members at the first time; As long as you give an appropriate response to every effective reply, the number of posts will increase unconsciously, which is necessary for special maintenance. The forum is not a website, so it needs to be communicated in time. Without human resource management, the forum will not develop. Look at the accumulation of people and the aggregation of people. Without people, there is no popularity. Even on good content and themes, it is difficult to attract visitors. Whether it is a vest or a member, it is the foundation.

The forum has been impacted by QQ, msn, Baidu HI and other chat tools. It is much more difficult to develop than other forms of websites. Coupled with the rich image of online games in the school, the living environment is getting narrower and narrower, and the latecomers are struggling. It can be said that the forum has not yet developed, and it has missed the spring of forum development. Of course, it does not rule out that there are good themes and methods and a strong team to break through, and then come from behind.

Second, delete offensive advertising posts in time;

Advertising posts can't be deleted in time, but they are handled out of order and belong to management. An unmanaged forum has lost its foundation. Moreover, after the advertisement posts occupy some important positions, great images are read, and many excellent contents are invisible. Manage, inspect and clean up the advertising content in time. With personnel management and a clean environment, there will be a good development foundation. The number of posts in the forum is by no means filled by the number of advertising posts;

Third, keep original updates and let visitors see more new content;

As we all know, search engines attach great importance to originality, but how many websites can have full-time editing skills and original articles? But there are many things to stick to. Chinese characters can be written, sentences can be made, and you should create your own articles. Search engines are not Chinese teachers and will not judge your rhetorical level, but they will only reprint good words. Sometimes articles are not necessarily good, but one of your opinions may be reprinted by others. Persistence is victory, and you will remain original every week. 2-3 original articles per week have filled the weight of the whole website;

Fourth, increase regular and irregular online activities to enliven the forum atmosphere;

The richness and persistence of online activities will enhance entertainment, but without popularity, participation will be limited; At present, many activities are not rewarded and participation is low. As far as the existing online activities are concerned, the following methods are far behind. For example, online games in SNS community, such as grabbing parking spaces, buying and selling friends, building and raising, are obviously not attractive enough, but they can still increase participation through prize advantages and reward ranges. At present, the online activities that the forum can engage in are nothing more than the following:

Solitaire activities: including idioms solitaire, answering questions, writing lyrics or other orderly Gai Lou activities;

Irrigation activities: set floor rewards through topic or theme discussion to increase the number of single posts;

Original encouragement: increase the original text in the station by rewarding the original content;

Auction activities: set up auction items, increase prices step by step, and get the highest price in a certain period of time;

Reward activity: set up reward points or virtual coins, ask for answers, and finally choose the best answer to reward;

More online activities are mostly evolved through the above forms, and the rules are similar. Constant change is nothing more than the freshness of the activity, but the participation and interest are low, the adhesion is not as good as that of online games, and it is more attractive. If appropriate online game rewards are combined with traditional forum activities, the effect should be more;

5. Give some encouragement to active members every month or week;

Rewards are what all members want, such as posting leaderboards, limited-time championships and so on. , as well as members who actively participate in community discussions and have been online for a long time, members who have given strong support to forums and websites, and certain material or other rewards can maintain the enthusiasm and enthusiasm of members;

6. Consider expanding part-time moderators according to the change of forum popularity;

When the popularity of the forum and the number of posts change and need better organization and management, you can recruit moderators. At the beginning, you will often lose the enthusiasm of moderators. If you invest more in recruiting moderators in the early stage, you will often have unexpected results. Pre-promotion will gradually retain members, enhance the cohesion of activities, and make the website interesting, so you can invest less in this aspect. You can recruit more enthusiastic members as moderators, and you will be more familiar with and understand the forum. But for interested websites and business forums, moderators will attract more investment, and generous rewards will become indispensable;

Seventh, publicize the forum by reprinting it to the promotion point;

Establish forums or site blogs, as well as related promotion of cooperative forums, strengthen information, achieve promotion purposes, increase friendly links, and improve connection relevance and link quality;
