Hi Al,
I agree; for me the email forum answers all my
questions & keeps me busy.
It's for people who have a serious interest about
subs or building subs.
But I can see some virtue in the web forum in that
it's format seems less obtrusive
to interact in for someone who has just discovered
the site.
There is also information under various categories
that may answer their questions.
It could act as a "capture point" for people
passing through the site if it was monitored regularly.
i.e if there's people with a serious interest then
direct them to the email blog. But if they seem
like there's no hope, then don't direct them
there.
As it is at the moment the web blog is possibly
counter productive in that if a seriously interested person
posts & doesn't get a reply they'll get
disappointed with their experience & go elsewhere.
Alan

Personally, I feel
the web forum is a waste of time?I have enough trouble keeping up with the
email forum, let alone another redundant forum plus all the other forums I
belong to.
I think we should
have one or the other but not both.
Just my 2
cents?.Al
But then again, who
asked me??? J

forum
Does anyone look at the web
forum?
I haven't looked at it in months
but It was the first place I went to
when I discovered the psub site. I
posted a question & didn't get an answer
for some time & then someone
kindly advised me that I was wasting my time
there & should go on the email
forum.
As the web forum seems
to be the first port of call for anyone making contact,
perhaps
we could set up a roster within
members or interested parties to monitor the
web forum every day or
two.
If we each did this for a week at
a time & there were 25 on the roster, that
would be only twice a year that
you were on. Any questions that were out of our
scope could be submitted to the
group on the email blog.
