Forum Seeder

Seed a forum you own, without dumping a week of posts in one night

Prove the domain, draft multi-user threads, approve every post, then let workers publish on a cadence. phpBB, XenForo, Discourse, and more.

Forum Seeder dashboard with workers and queue

Empty boards bounce people. A theme and a welcome sticky are not a community. Forum Seeder is the workflow we use on forums we actually run: helper users, multi-post threads, human approval, then a worker that posts through the real login (or Discourse API) on a human-like cadence.

It is not a tool for posting on other people's forums. If you cannot add a DNS record or an HTML file on the host, this product will refuse you. That is the point.

Who it is for

Owners of phpBB, MyBB, SMF, XenForo, vBulletin, Discourse, Flarum, or NodeBB who already have a board (live or staging) and need starter conversations that look like back-and-forth, not a single admin talking to themselves.

Not for Reddit, Facebook, SEO agencies warming other people's communities, or anyone asking for an "undetectable bot".

The path

  1. Create an account and verify email.
  2. On the Forum Seeder page, Start free trial (3 days, Starter limits: 1 forum, 5 generated threads, 50 counted posts, 10 titles). Locked per email, signup IP, and later the forum domain.
  3. Claim the forum (name, base URL, engine). Discourse also needs an Admin API key at claim. See Discourse Admin API key.
  4. Prove ownership: DNS TXT or HTML file. See Prove you own the forum.
  5. Add forum users (the logins on your board). CSV import is username,password with no header.
  6. Sync boards.
  7. Titles → Generate drafts or Thread Builder.
  8. Approve. Queue. Start workers.

Approval is the product

AI can draft. You still read. Quote repair runs so phpBB/XenForo markup does not ship broken. Thread Builder never calls a model: you write the posts, optionally with JPEG/PNG/GIF images.

Cadence, not a dump

Workers sleep between posts. Post now exists when a board is waiting on cadence, not as a firehose. Failed posts do not spend the counted-post meter. Original AI posts do not spend that meter either; extra replies and Thread Builder posts do. Generated-thread credits spend when an AI draft is created.

Exact meters: Forum Seeder pricing and wiki: billing.

FAQ

Will this post on forums I do not own?
No. You must pass DNS TXT or HTML file verification. Workers pause if a later re-check fails.
Do I have to accept every AI draft?
No. Nothing goes live until you approve it. Thread Builder is fully manual if you do not want AI drafts.
Is this the same as office-tool credits?
No. Forum Seeder is a 3-day trial then Starter, Growth, or Pro monthly. Credits never pay for seeding.
