Just a thought

Hey Don,

I’m looking at the forum, we have a lot of forums that just are not being used, are you willing to look at maybe consolidating the forums, making it smaller, more focused?

If you aren’t beholden to this hosting provider, honestly i’d suggest making a new forum entirely, something built on the same systems of techexams.net forum.

Funny how things happen. These forums used to be hoppin’! I’m always interested in ways to keep the conversation going. With that said, we still get a lot of action, it has just moved to Twitter and LinkedIn. I’ve even awarded one of our giveaways to someone who uses LinkedIn almost exclusively. Maybe there’s a way to utilize those better on the site.

Anyone else have thoughts?

Was that the November award winner? Didn’t see any announcement but I don’t know exactly when you announce them.

Well, I don’t use twitter, I don’t like the character limitation. LinkedIn I wouldn’t have an issue with, I think we do have a group there.

I don’t know, but I’m guessing Don maybe referring to the April giveaway.

I will announce the Nov Winner before the end of the year.

As for LinkedIn, we have 3760 members in the EH-Net Group: http://www.linkedin.com/e/vgh/2217935/

…it’s been a while for me 🙂 my bad … but what happened to all of the columnists? The last dates of posts on those boards look sad 🙁

You’re right. But if we get more like you to participate, mention us on your blogs, Tweet, etc., we can get it back even if it is one-by-one. So thanks for returning.

However it does confirm that the Giveaways do increase participation. We’ve done less of them over the past few years, but when we do, post counts go up.

You can suggest merging those forums into one big forum but you need to be able to connect with members of different forums, that is also a pretty good idea mapquest driving directions
