<p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;">[quote user="zugmann"]</span></p> <p>Hmm.. usually I find that a small handful of posters (sometimes 1 or 2) can do more to hurt a forum than any policy or structure. Nature of user-supplied content, I guess. </p> <div style="clear:both;"></div> <p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;">[/quote]</span></p> <p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;">Forums are like selling soap. They are as market driven as any product ever was. They need to draw in the customers. What draws in customers is the attention and reception of the other customers. This is often thwarted by the forum structure. </span></p> <p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;">I have had some ideas about a vastly different type of forum operation and structure. It would take a lot more thought to get it to a clear definition. But it would take communication to a very high key. The main challenge would be to run this new structure with a sort of automatic editor. </span></p> <p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;">It would be a radical departure from just adding messages to a list of messages.</span> </p>
