How often should an admin visit his (or her) forum?

An Admin should try to visit their forum everyday. Running a forum requires alot of time and hard work. Hard work pays off.

 

I agree, the Admin should be running it not the other way around. I know you need help but the said help is not supposed to make up for your presence! =D

Yep I agree, the admin/owner should be doing their job and not constantly relying on staff either to be keeping the activity flowing.

 

After all they did create it.... just sayin'

Of course, and Admin is like a President they have to do their jobs so that the forum can run as planned. Relying on others for too long wont get the job done.

 

I agree.

 

I visit my forum daily and i would think any other admin dedicated to their forum and community would do the same.

 

I agree, I do the same. Although it maybe hard when you have a job, and things in life that keep you busy you should still try your best to get on everyday.

 

Everyday for several hours.
I have spent a quarter of my life in the last year on my forums. (3 months online in 12)

 

I would have to say the same, I spend and have spent so much time on AdminBB, its all worth it at the end because I enjoy it

 

An admin should always be more active than the staff members to begin. It makes a healthy staff team - when everyone is active and actively posting.

 

I could not agree more cpvr!

Definitely agree Carlos, admins should always be more active than staff and post more, and not expect staff to do all the posting while they "work behind the scenes". I dont rely on others to get things done, thats my job.

 

Admins should visit their forum EVERY DAY! If they don't,I don't think that forum will have a good future

 

Well it still can, but not a good enough chance compared to if the admin did visit everyday..

 

While I agree, I can't manage it myself. I have a moderator catching up very quickly on post count and activity, he just has more time than I do. It's not like I'm inactive though.

 

A day lol. 2-3 hours for the entire life of the forum would just be sad...

 

Your right, and if the admin did that, it would probably show that they either don't care about the forum or just does not have the time to run it...

 

Yea pretty much. I never understand why people open up forums if they don't have the time to run it. A forum is not something simple, it requires alot of time and dedication.

 

Yea, that is why I gave it up, because I don't have time these days
