Hey folks, I need to jump in with some observations about this forum. I've recently noticed a lot of "me too" comments that are dragging the quality of the conversation down. Before you comment on a post, pause for a second and ask yourself, "how is what I'm about to post going to contribute to this conversation?" If the post you are making is more social in nature, take it to the Coffee Break forum. Let's keep all posts in this forum on-topic and thoughtful, helpful, or otherwise likely to increase our community business knowledge.

    In my opinion its best to keep such a thing static and inside the FAQ.

    Isn't Dan (or someone) moderating the articles? I know there's a delay in them posting, so I assume this is the case.

    As for posting, my philosophy is; "if you don't have anything good to say, don't say anything at all". This applies to being constructive and helpful in the forum.

    It may be worth, eventually, having the forum moderated. Also, to have it closer to the tried and true forum formats like vBulletin. *I know there are a lot of projects and only so many Dans to work on them.

    I wonder, not being an IT guru - would it be possible to let a person post a comment when they have something to add but if they don't but do want to nod in agreement, they could maybe check a box that would then post a symbol on the post to which it refers, in essence showing how many people said, "me too" without there being a long thread of me-too posts?

    Again, maybe wishful thinking but thought I'd put it out there.

    I'm happy to see that the Biznik community is alive and well! So many websites and forums are dying off, which is why I'm getting active here. Let's keep it going!

This forum is unmoderated, but please keep discussion courteous and not too far off topic.
