    XF 2.2 Changing username to random usernames

    So to clarify you want a database of usernames that are randomly generated at every x interval or x action? This goes further because you only want to target a a specific instance of one specific username? I think this might be better suited in the plugin development area with some further...

    Forum competitions on launch?

    XF 2.2 How to delete messages from a user already deleted

    That might be a good plugin. A button that purges the posts of a specified user (also removing the quoted part of a post others may have quoted the OP in) to prevent that quote showing even if the OP was deleted.

    Forum competitions on launch?

    Will want to do some advertising over the next few months, with potentially a different competition every month with different prizes to keep it interesting. Does anyone have any experience or any suggestions on how best to approach forum competitions especially with IRL prizes?

    What type of content will help your forum grow?

    Curating past topics is a very interesting technique and I can imagine that takes a lot of time. You see that technique applied to blogs, they have "the best forums to visit in 2023" but it was actually posted in 2019. They recognise that nobody is going to care about 2019 anymore a better...
