some good ideas there baron.
that "community" that you speak of comprises of a relatively small sample size that may even have some so called sampling bias.
so no reliable conclusions can be reached or obtained as of yet. its too early and we are too young. we need a significantly larger community for that feedback to be perfectly relevant so we can advance in all the right directions.
still I am liking your propensity for critical strategic thinking. it is quite admirable.
we can do something here that is truly unique to this forum.
it all starts with the right culture. and with doing the right thing 100% of the time.
I think you mold the board in accordance with your own ideas and ideals that are a function of your years and years experience with boards. you ultimately arrive at that perfect idea and that perfect vision. so this is your vision. make no mistake about it.
and then you employ the feed back to make sure that we are always doing all the right things and also trying to give the people what they want as much as possible.
I agree, but I think we also need to be reactive to members, moreso with the discussion forum than the overall website and the grander scheme of things.
For example, Nekro and Slasher have highlighted some issues with images and few other things, which we'll work to iron out (I'll be onto that this weekend). Those sort of things can be irritating to the end user and are easily fixed.
Moxie and tented are also equal stakeholders, it's very much a combined team effort - they do a ton of work behind the scenes which might get overlooked beyond the discussion forum... and we have a great mod team and key anchor posters. We also very much appreciate your efforts with the castle and promoting the site in general.
We're all heavily committed to the project and expanding things, so expect things to ramp up over the next few months with what we are offering.
