So far, XenForo is my favorite out of all of them. Invision looks nice but it's too pricey for me. I don't need all those suite features, so it would be a waste of money.

I used free in the past. But premium gives me more of what I want out of it, so I stick with XenForo.

I pay a guy to post on my forums, yes. He posts great content that is relevant to my niche, and he charges a fair price for it. It's a good way to get more content on the forum and help break things up.

I used the paid version of DaVinci Studio. The free version is really all you would need. However, the paid version has a cool feature that uses AI to help with bad mic sound and that is something that has helped me a lot, so I upgraded. It's a one-time fee and it's not a whole lot of money. I...

I used to. I tried to learn it for years. Was never good at it. Can't afford to constantly have people design for me. So, AI it is!

Email included with my hosting service is free. I think it used Squirrel Mail or one of those common ones. I'll set it up mainly to be able to send email from the domain name. I also put the inbox on my phone so I can monitor email for it.

I used ProBoards way back when they first came out. It was a nice forum hosting service back then. I'm sure it's still nice now. But it does tend to look a little outdated.

Out of pocket. However, I make money online and a lot of that revenue pays for all my websites.

I'll keep my vehicle until it becomes way too expensive to fix. Then after that, I buy a new truck and take whatever trade-in value they want to give me. However, new truck prices are crazy. If they go up anymore, I might just start buying used.

I'd rather sell the whole thing than deal with parts.

I volunteer to do Search and Rescue in the forest I hike in. I also do trash cleanup a lot. I've been a volunteer firefighter and emergency management official in the past.

I take hot showers all year round. I would like to do ice baths once a month, though. I need to set something up for it.

Traditional gas for me. I don't see a whole lot of chargers like people claim they are everywhere. I do a lot of wilderness driving and what not where those chargers are not. I don't have any desire to quit doing that.

This is a cool forum :) I need to get on it more!

I hate TikTok. I think it's ultimate brain rot.

I used to run a vaping forum long time ago. I sold that forum for a few hundred dollars. It got really big with the new owners. Then it just went inactive and eventually got shut down.

Better now but it took about a week!

Thank you. It's growing pretty nicely, too!
