Maybe it would be a good idea to follow the CMS model in having two areas - one is the public 'fan' forum which is kept strictly clean and targeted ONLY at Hermit related or 'normal' topics, and an 'invisible' private members area which is what THIS part becomes.

Because that's been such an outstanding success? correct me if I'm wrong but isn't that forum deader than dead? haven't look on there in a long time.

News flash, new people just don't come to forums anymore, it's all the same old faces who slowly disappear.

God I remember in the early days of this board (about 2 years ago) I would put out a myspace bulletin and instantly get 1 or 2 members, those days are long gone and it's time to evolve.

Twitter is working really great right now, the facebook page is also alright as well and we have a some stuff planned for late 2010 early 2011 and I don't know if a forum fits into that.

I get where you're coming from Dale, but I just think getting rid would be pointless

I mean, we're all friends here and it would be a shame to just kill it all off.

I believe forums will eventually see renewed popularity as people start to get bored with sifting through all the shyte on Facebook - it's kind of like listening to the radio when you're not quite on station - you're trying to listen to something you really want to hear, but it's a constant struggle because of the incessant drone of crap in the background. Sooner or later you give up and look for a simpler way.

I reckon that's what will happen with Facebook - people will realise they really don't need to know Jane Smith is catching the bus to go get her nails done

Jane smiths getting her nails done!!! I gotta see this!!!

Keep the forum, don't matter if the Twitter sides doing well, I've so far managed to avoid Twitter and would like to keep it that way.

Think it's poll time.

Ah can you not let me get to 1000 posts before killing this?

S'alright guys dont worry, ive remembered my password
