This article is really good about helping you root out the underlying issues. Usually when a member blows up at me out of the blue on my forum, it's never thta one particular issue, it's usually many things that have built up, and I wish I had sometimes done more due diligence or background or communication. I sometimes move too fast and moderate too quickly when more open dialogue would have been better. Still learning!

Really like these articles, appreciate Liam referring me to this awesome resource. I need to spend some more time reading some more articles, but I think it's important we emphasize core leadership skills to really lead our communities.

I only run one forum on animal husbandry / caretaking of wild animals. I've been to sites where I see people run 3 or 4 different forums in their signatures, which is crazy to me.

So much stuff! I would renew my IPS license for a year (or five 😄), buy a new guitar, buy some Oliver Cabell lace-ups, and a new skateboard. I don't know if there's one big item I would buy, probably just many items.

Wow what a great message, happy new year! Definitely like the pivot away from engagement, which is something I tend to overly focus on, and in the quality of relationships and the community we can build.
