Has anyone else received the email from ICC about their bulletin board survey?
As you are well aware, you completely screwed up when you moved to the new web site format.Whoever suggested the idea, designed the idea, reviewed the idea and approved the idea should be fired or reassigned, as they obviously have no idea what your members want, nor any grasp on how people interact on the web.
You torpedoed your site and all of your contributors have moved on the other sites (ok, well, we're all on the same site). I seriously doubt that moving to any other message system will bring back the activity you once had.
Whose idea was it to reinvent the wheel? vBulletin is a well-established bulletin board/messaging system used by thousands of sites throughout the world. If what you implemented was actually a good idea, don't you think somebody else would have created it already?
I think the move was purely monetary; an attempt to make people purchase a membership to participate in discussions veiled in the disguise of a poorly designed new web site. That's why my last option would be to return to your site if there are other sites available to accomplish the same goals.
ICC lobbied heavily to be specifically mentioned in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.MarkRandall said:Packsaddle, I am curious about your comment on the Federal government. I would like to know what has changed in that respect.
Since i had to log on when I was doing my certs a few months back, I took a look. Dead.Uncle Bob said:How about someone who "can get on" the new forum; taking a look and giving us some feedback; on what is happening there?How many post? Participation? etc.
