How our guides and articles are made

Who publishes this site

Every guide, comparison, use case page and article on forumera.com is published by the Forumera team. Guides and comparisons are signed "Forumera team". Other pages carry no personal byline. Forumera is a hosted forum platform, and this site is its own website.

We make one of the products we write about

Comparison and alternatives pages often include Forumera. We make Forumera, so read those pages knowing that. We do not take payment for placements, and there are no affiliate links on the site. When another tool is a better fit for a use case, such as voice chat or a self-hosted server, the page says so.

How guides and comparisons are written

Guides and comparisons are markdown files, and use case pages are built in code, both kept in the same repository as the product. Topics are picked from search data: what people search for, which questions come up and which of our pages already answer them. Drafts are written with the help of AI writing tools. A draft is not published as written.

How pages are checked before they go live

Statements about Forumera are checked against the product code, not against plans or memory. If a feature is not built yet, a page does not say it exists. Facts about other products, such as prices, plans and shutdowns, come from their own public pages and documentation. When we cannot find a source for a claim, we leave it out.

Content changes go through a separate review pass before they ship. A change that fails review is fixed and reviewed again.

Automated tests cover the content files too. A page without a title or a valid publish date is rejected. FAQ answers in the page's structured data must match the text the page shows. Markup inside content files is escaped, so a file cannot inject code into a page.

Articles

Pages under /articles are planned and drafted in the content tool we use for search research and publishing. They reach this site through a private, token-protected connection, and each one stays hidden until its scheduled publish time. Their HTML is cleaned before it is shown.

How pages are kept up to date

Each guide shows its publish date and, when it has changed since, the date of its last update. We update a page when the product changes, when a product it describes changes its prices or shuts down, or when search data shows the page no longer answers what people are looking for. When a feature changes, we correct the pages that describe it.

Product documentation

The docs at /docs describe how Forumera works today and are written from the product itself. When the product and a doc disagree, the doc is wrong and gets fixed.

Report a mistake

If something on a page is wrong or out of date, email [email protected] or use the contact form. Include the page address and what you think is wrong. Confirmed mistakes are corrected on the page.
