Thoughts on Forums
I’ve dabbled in hosting forums before. I used to administer a forum on Apnea at my old apnea blog. It was a self-hosted phpbb affair and it was really rather dismal and best forgotten.
Forum administration is a lot of work, even without a ton of subscribers. With 2005 era phpbb and limited knowledge of tweaking code, managing comment spam was horrible!
So for a few months, it has been clear that HHX should consider adding a forum to help build a sense of community. Talking with people like Justin Kownacki about hosted options like Virb, Miggle, MyNow, Catastrospace, Ning, etc, I settled on FaceBook. Christopher Penn has a forum over there for the Financial Aid Podcast, so I figured why not give it a spin?
(Bonus points: how many social media sites from that paragraph actually exist?)
So, please check out the forum located at HHX: The Health Hacks Podcast Group.
That is all.
