The BBS boards within BBS are independent and can decide for themselves what type of contents can be posted on the boards.

Some boards are restrictive and only accept posts that fit a certain topic eg those that focus only on cryptocurrencies or a board that focus only on politics.

There are also boards that will accept anything. Such boards have an advantage in getting new members and getting posts because they cater to diverse interests.

BBS  has recently announced that it would like boards to focus on  one topic
Small BBS boards desperate to grow its membership can continue to accept anything under the ☀️. However such a choice may not be advisable.

As a social media platform,  BBS is new and tiny compared to established platforms like Facebook aka Meta and YouTube.

Revenue from advertisements that BBS receives is tiny compared with the gigantic social media platforms.

BBS is the only social media platform that gives 90% of the advertising revenue it receives to its users.

This 90% is split equally between the current owner of a post (if you buy a post, you become the current owner until someone else buys the post off you)  and the publisher (author) of the post.

The advertising revenue that current owner and the publisher receive is based on the CPM rate X the number of Impressions

The default CPM rate is 5

The CPM rate for BBS boards that have qualified for Engagement Mining is 150

It is difficult for small BBS boards to qualify for Engagement Mining.

To help small BBS boards to grow, BBS has a Growth Seeding Program.

BBS will give $1,000 to boards that are selected for the Growth Seeding Program to purchase advertisements that will boost their CPM rate to 150

In order to qualify for Engagement Mining or to be selected for the Growth Seeding Program, BBS now require boards to comply with the one topic policy.

We can choose not to comply in order to attract new members. But that would mean that our CPM rate remains at 5 instead of having chance to get 150.

The "one topic" can actually be a range of topics.

For example a board can focus on  Global Economics and Investment. The state of the global economy and the direction the economy is heading has tremendous effect on the value of our investments. It is also of vital importance in what we should do: whether to sell, buy or just hold and the composition of our investments by asset class such as stocks, bonds, real estate, cryptocurrencies, and precious metals.

Memories Of The Way We Were focuses on Human Relationships and hopes to promote better Human relationships and to help those who are struggling in their relationships.

Mental health of 👫👬 and their relationship with God has tremendous effect on their relationships with other 👬👫.

The Bible says "By this shall man know that you are My disciples if you have love for one another"

Jesus commands us to"Love one another as I have loved you"

Learning how God love us and loving God will affect the way we love 👫👬 and relate with them.

Based on the above explantation , Memories Of The Way We Were will welcome posts on Mental Health issues and the ❤️ between God and man and discussion of Scripture in addition to posts that deals directly with Human Relationships.

❤️ stories, encouraging quotes are also in line with our core topic.

Global economics and Investments is another area that 🦋 write on but it is obviously off topic for a board like Memories Of The Way We Were.

Instead of struggling to start another BBS for such writing , 🦋 has obtained the approval of the admin (owner)  of another BBS board, Share It to start a channel for Global Economics and Investment in Share It
