Do you have any specific reasons for not using premium forum software. Well, phpBB is certainly good, I have used it. However, in my experience, if you are not using premium software, most people tend to believe that you are not a serious about your community

Reading in bathroom might be very common for some people but reading as you do your business will always be a weird reading habit for me. Interestingly, I have done it myself a couple of times.

These days I have started reading ancient Greek literature. I am now reading Sophocles's Oedipus Rex. I am not reading Greek literature just for the sake of stories, I am trying to understand what those stories imply and how them affect modern people.

In the past, I used to read a lot of fictions for pleasure, however, now I have moved from reading for pleasure to reading for knowledge and wisdom. These days I mostly read philosophy, culture, and religion.

Over the years, my reading habit has drastically changed. From reading paperbacks and hard covers, I have not moved to ebook readers. From reading 1-2 books every week, I have now moved to reading 1 book every month. I wish I could find more time to read.

When this year started, I decided to read at least one book every month. sadly, I could not keep up with my goal. The year is going to end and I have not even met half of my goal. Maybe I would continue to have a reading goal for the next year, and I will try to reach that goal. Reading is a...

I don't carry a book. However, when I go outdoors I take my tab with me. I have a lot of books on my tab and when I get a time, or when I am waiting, I open my tab and start reading. In the past, I used to carry books but these days I no longer carry physical books

Well, I haven't tried any wellness trends apart from so called super foods that are claimed to help you with your physical health. For instance, I have tried chia seeds to maintain weight but to be frank I don't think trying trends can be beneficial unless you combine with other things.

Walking is one of my favorite ways to manage stress. When I am stressed out, I go for a walk. But sometimes this is not possible, especially when I am also physically tired. In a situation like this, I play games or watch TV shows.

Food. I am epicurean b y nature and I want to try various kinds of food. Well, not all food is good for the body but I end up eating foods that might have detrimental affect on my body.

Thankfully I do not have any kind of mental health issues. Apart from occasional stress and anxiety issues due to work pressure, I have no mental health complications. In my entire life I have been to a counselor only once and he said I was ok.

A lot of people like to buy a functional forum instead of working hard to build from scratch. Are you someone who likes to buy a forum instead of starting form scratch? Some people also like to buy forums and merge with their forums as a growth strategy. Are you someone who likes to buy forums...

I have seen a lot of people very passionate about running forums and they have no plans to close their forums. I have also seen people who create forums, get bored, shut down or sell, and then after sometime again come back with a new forum. How long do you see yourself running your forum? As...
