btw, I am going to try and manage this by myself to begin with. So please be gentle with me. I am not in this to try and take anyone for a ride. I want this to work and I think that it could benefit everyone.
Hey maybe with time we can rotate the management amongst our members. I imagine though that after 3-6months that the intial members will have left as their forums will be successful. Let’s see how it goes.
Great idea
Just one thought: I have 2 forums (one is existed and one I set up in the upcoming days). Can this system handle it?
well the system is not automated or anything it is all done manually by all members.
In reply to the question about 2 forums, I would recommend that you start with one. Otherwise you would have to make 6 posts a day to each forum. And imho that is too much to do.
So yeah start with 1… and then we see how it goes.
Thanks for the ‘great idea’ remark.
Please sign-up to google groups and we can start to get a chat going about it there…. We only need a few members to get it going.

Welcome to CAP, Chill! :hattip:
I am interested as well… However, I am still in the process of starting up my forums. Might take me a while as my time has been limited lately
Just an update from me!
There is lots of people that are joining and have joined already. There are a few things I want you to know first if you want to join or already are a member:
1. This is going to be extra work for you! If you have to deliver 15 messages a day for 5 days a week, that is something like 5 hours extra work A WEEK, with no reward other than you getting the equal ammount of posts back onto your forums!
2. If your forums look really bad, i.e too many banners, no effort gone into them at all, don’t bother joining. This is not a training course into how to get forums going. This is to make your forums look busy. Members will need to be creative when posting on your forums, but they are not going to do all the work for you! You need to lead the way on your forum by posts interesting articles to discuss, topics, interest, etc. Look at what the professor does here…
Sorry if you think I sound a little harsh, but before we get started it is important that everyone knows this is a commitment to all the other people around you, as well as to yourself. This is going to take work, but the benefits could really be great! My theory is that if you haven’t put in enough work to make your forums look nice, perfectly user-friendly, no broken links, etc, etc… then why are you going to put in the work to benefit someone else’s forum?
That is my little piece… for now………
Also this is OUR project… So help me out once we get things going in terms of management. I had the idea, that is all, I don’t need another big job on my hands to run this entire thing. Any volunteers to share the work load, let me know!
Hope it all makes sense and that I haven’t offended anyone. Just putting my view accross in what I think it will take for our forums to make it. I want everyone in this to be commited to their sites/forums and everyone elses. By being a tight community we will suceed!
bump… anyone else interested? We have 5 members and are doing really well so far. If anyone wants to join pm me or sign-up at the website
I’ll give it a shot.. membership pending.
Thanks!I signed up for it. Hopefully we can all do each other good favors and engage in conversations of interest.
Thought I would give this a bump as we are still going
