Forums
The goal of any Forum is to have a lively board and build a "community". The key to doing this is to have a large number of regular viewers and contributors.
However, almost all Forums categorize their Forum areas into subjects. The problem with this, is rarely does a Forum get enough critical mass to create a community and therefore they turn into ghost towns, with few visitors and fewer posters.
I think the key to this problem is to have a SINGLE forum where people can post ANY PDA related comments. This will create lively debates, and a high volume of postings.
Once the board gets more established and the number of posts increase to an unmanagable number for a single Forum, then the board can add a couple of other categories.
As an example, the most lively board I visit is a Cal Sports board at cyberbears.org -- go to this and select the "Growls" Forum from the main menu. It's relatively slow right now since this is the off season, but during the school year there are 100+ posts a day.
Although they have many other forums covering specific topics, they are relatively unused because there is not enough critical mass to make it worthwhile for anyone to check out on a regular basis.
Just a suggestion to get the boards going. 1 or 2 posts to these boards a week aren't enough to attract viewers and participation for me.
enjoy the vacation
