I have considered adding blog platforms but that time would be better invested in other areas at the moment. Will definitely keep this in mind.
Which areas, if you don't mind me asking ? working on the site itself, or on getting new forums/ more jobs for the writers ?
Can you message SEO forums. They haven’t changed their requirements. If they want to manually approve threads they should go somewhere else. Manually approving posts/threads shouldn’t be allowed.
sounds like a good idea if you want to alienate forums. It would be something like going into a store and telling the store to lower their prices or get out of town, and if the store takes your advice, and leaves town, then what? how are you going to eat now? chasing off the business/platform because you simply do not like their rules is not only a bad plan, it is a bad idea also.
