Pound for Pound, Ninja Post is the Best Forum Software Around

Ninja Post forum software is fast, nimble, and powerful like Manny Pacquiao. Meanwhile, traditional forum software is bloated and slow like Butterbean. Yes, Butterbean-type software can get the job done, but not in the most elegant way. Feature bloat is ugly and an unfortunate trait inherent in most forum software packages.

We believe that, pound for pound, Ninja Post is the best forum software. Speed and power are combined within a lightweight framework. Threads update in real time, like a chat so the user does not need to constantly refresh the page to see if new items have been posted. Speed, elegance, and power trump an endless array of features. It’s true that Ninja Post doesn’t have every feature under the sun, but it does have the most essential features for users in your community to engage with one another.

Interview With Ninja Post Founder On AdminFusion.com

I recently completed an interview about Ninja Post for the website AdminFusion.com. The interview covers a range of topics including the inspiration for Ninja Post, challenges inherent in launching new forums, and how Ninja Post works, among other things. In response to a question about the future of online forums. I offered:

There is a broader trend that web apps must be simple to use in order to succeed, and I think this trend should apply to forum software. There is a great opportunity for a forum solution that is simple, modern, and elegant and that’s what I’m striving to achieve with Ninja Post.

Ninja Post Forum Software: The Best of Both Worlds

Forums are typically cluttered with too many sub forums, users’ signatures, content that’s quoted over and over again, blinking emoticons, and embedded images that cause pages to load slowly. Meanwhile, chat rooms are poorly organized and their content tends to be fleeting: if you’re not there in the moment, the conversation disappears.

Ninja Post forum software combines the best of both worlds: the speed and simplicity of a chat room and the structure and stability of a forum. We do not abide by the clutter that clogs most forums but we do provide enough organization so that new users can quickly get up to speed on the topic of conversation.

Optimize Customer Acquisition Costs

Organic search results, AdWords, and outreach via Twitter and Facebook are three of the most common ways to drive traffic to your site. But no matter how you attract visitors, the process is either time consuming or expensive or both.

Worse, once users make it to your site, they often vanish without a trace. Ninja Post message board software mitigates this scenario by making your website more engaging, more like a Borders or Barnes & Noble. It’s not hard to conceive of a message board that:

  • Anchors your social media strategy;
  • Allows you to optimize customer acquisition costs;
  • Keeps users coming back to your site; and
  • Helps you develop stronger customer relationships

That’s exactly what Ninja Post is designed to do. Then again, that’s just the tip of the iceberg of what Ninja Post can do…
