    Does your job ever stress you out?

    The current jobs I have don't stress me out too much since I only work part-time and don't have to worry about working so many hours in one setting. Depending on the type of retail reset I'm doing and if I feel like I'm taking too long, I can feel a little stressed from my second job. I don't...

    Last Game Played

    Pokemon GO, because it was Community Day today! Not to mention, I play it every day.

    Scary movies or comedy movies?

    I'd prefer a laugh over a scare any day.

    Smartphones

    I feel like I'm so far behind in the game. I have an iPhone 11, which works perfectly fine, but it probably doesn't have all the cool, new technology that newer iPhones have.

    Contests

    I've tried running a few contests on my board and they were epic failures. I have never been good at thinking about new contests and executing them. I've always been more focused on providing what the board is intended for, in my case coding resources.

    Do you think post exchanges are effective?

    I like topic exchanges more than post exchanges so there is new content for members to engage in. I think post exchanges themself can be a hit or miss depending on the type of content posted and how interested users are in responding to the content and if it gains their interest.

    What causes you to lose interest in a community?

    Lack of activity/content, staff members that no longer care, spamming/trolling/flaming going on, finding communities that better suit my needs, etc.

    Take a break from forums?

    Yes, I've taken many breaks from forums, especially when I was struggling with mental health issues at the time. I don't think I've taken much of a break in the 5+ years I've run my Jcink board, but I used to take breaks when I was a part of the Zathyus Networks service due to the...

    How often do you buy new games?

    Never anymore now that I have a broken gaming laptop and no console, and most mobile games don't seem worth paying for in my opinion. I've bought a handful of mobile games and I uninstalled all of them due to lack of gameplay.

    Do you have children?

    I've never even had a girlfriend, so that's a big no for me. I don't really think I have the mental capacity to handle children, I'm afraid of going into debt, and I would probably often worry about them a lot.

    Team Leaders

    Oh, team leaders definetely aren't a requirement, it's just a small extra addendum to a community where you can have someone to go to besides the administrators for advice, and to-dos, and to just look up to in general in times of need. Boards definitely thrive without them, it's just a matter...

    Successful free forums

    I use Jcink and although my board isn't super active, I'd consider it at least semi-successful. We have daily log-ins and posts are generally made on a daily basis too. There's a board on Jcink (Caution to the Wind) that has 140+ members online today, and there's another board (Daytime Dish)...

    Pancakes or waffles?

    Just plain? Waffles. Topping all over them? Pancakes.

    How often do you shave?

    Honestly, when it starts to get itchy. Probably about 2 times a month.

    Do you get enough sleep?

    Yes, I generally get 7 to 8 hours. However, there are times like last night when I wake up in the middle of the night and just can't go back to sleep. Suffice to say, I took a nap after work.

    Do you drive?

    I got my license when I was 23 (I think) and I'm 33 now, so I've been driving for a decade.

    What do you drive?

    I drive a Kia Optima. No idea what the year is, it was originally my grandmother's car.

    Do you have a short fuse?

    I do not really have a short fuse. I am pretty mellow and content, or perhaps a little hyper if I've had too much caffeine. I get angry just like everyone does, but most of the anger stays in my head.

    Do you get along with your family?

    Absolutely, though some of my cousins kind of abandoned their families and went their own separate ways. I would still get along with them, but it's kind of maddening when you just walk out and leave the people you grew up with and supported for so long.
