In pursuit of excellence!

We are so very lucky to have such brilliant teachers among us.

Why do other folk continue to invent the wheel? With the very best of forum exchanges on the web we should be generating massive numbers of visitors.

We have fantastic resources at Adland but many don't even get a foothold into forumland. Why? Perhaps they will tell us?

It is my intention to invite the most successful forum owners to tell us why they consider that their forum works and expands.

New folk coming to Adland need to know that the best way to get known is through forums.

Very good and successful attempts are being made by some dedicated Adlanders to involve new members. We need to support them.

WARNING: We intend to uncover the hidden secrets of successful forum writing. Invitations are on their way as you read this.

 Look and learn.

P.S. Since I launched this forum Carla has started one for Newbies to help them with their first forum. Go help her help others.

Sorry folks,

What a brilliant start.

For some reason I cannot get the Forum leader to display properly.

I copied it and pasted it as a post reply and it works.

Any ideas as to why?

Good stuff coming.

Hi Roger,

Are we allowed to reply or is there more?

Today I was also thinking how we at Adlandpro make bonds of worldwide friendships that I haven't heard happening at other online networking sites.  I don't hear people saying "I made several great friends from Myspace or Facebook or Direct Matches"...do you?  BUT we do hear it all the time at Adlandpro.

I think the main reason more people don't take the time to create forums is they have the online horse-race mentality of constantly running from one thing to the next, looking for the magic bean of great income or whatever it is they think will dramatically improve their life, instantly.  Also, people expect others to ENTERTAIN THEM or provide something FOR THEM, instead of asking themselves what they can offer to other people.  They don't realize the time and efforts they GIVE will come back to them tenfold or more.

About creating a forum, if it's non-advertising, make sure visitors know that, and as the owner, keep it clear of ads, don't let the ads stay there because then more people will post ads thinking it's okay.

People who want to start a forum should look around and think of something unique and popular to many people, not just interesting to the forum owner themself, or at least a unique way of presenting something that's already being done.
