Hey folks! There is no one-way path to the role of community manager. I started as a group member who posted a lot, moved up to moderator, found out that community management was a thing, and then did everything I could to get here. Iāve heard of teachers transitioning directly to community management. Still, others madeā¦

Hi everyone, This question has come up on several calls recently and I thought I'd get the pulse how our client communities are handling this today. When you receive two similar or identical ideas how to you go about dealing with this?
Over the weekend, my community had a big ol' spike in guest visits (guests=people not logged in) on a SUNDAY of all days. The average for the week was 200-300 guest visits each day, then on Sunday - boom! - nearly 3,000 guest visits. There were no social media posts, newsletters or other marketing efforts that day. Perhapsā¦

Hi all - we are interested in planning an AMA event within our community which would only be open to a select group of super-users. I was wondering if anyone had some best practices on how best to manage this in Vanilla, as I can imagine the lack of threaded comments (as in Reddit) could quickly make things complicated.ā¦

Many first timers (especially in product oriented communities) that go through your community (or even ask a question) aren't looking to join a new community at all, they're not there for your amazing community plan and experience (sorry): they just want an answer to their question, ideally as quickly as possible.
