to plug something and then you never hear from them again, some are
daunted by the tech know how, some may just enjoy the ranting of a
bunch of "slightly off" persons..... :) But I know I would like a
more type of forum thing and I do remember you plugging the forums
you created, I think for some it may be that they don't want to have
to travel to different sites, once they are hear. I think some of
the issue with the forum idea that you had, was who else was plugging
it? Was there a link on freevlog, and vloggercon or even in this
group on the main page.
I know that I would like something like a forum listing, (I meant to
go back to yours but it got lost in the suffle) where various topics
could be addressed rather quickly and easily, David's was pretty good
I thought, and from what I remember usadutch2001's was pretty cool
looking........
I don't know people are lurkers by nature I think, only the "alphas"
have the thick skin to withstand some of the heat that comes with
this group sometimes.... :) That and to be honest most of the time
what really gets this group going is very "techie" issues and ideas
that I think that most of the users on this group have NO IDEA what
you guys and gals are talking about........I know it is over my head
sometimes.......ok most of the time.....
