Opening the forums to non-plus members

[rani]

Hi everyone,

I really enjoy speaking to you all and sharing knowledge! My only disappointment is that the forums are a little quiet....

You are all such interesting people, and no doubt the non-plus mob are too. I wanted to suggest that we open the forums to all to keep it lively. I've noticed that there are often great comments under the podcasts, and I would, personally, love to open up the discussions here.

If the point of our lives is to share knowledge and grow, what better way than to do it all together?

What say you all?

I agree its a bit slow and the show discussions are lively in the standard website.

Perhaps hang on until Greg has consolodated his 2 sites into 1, maybe done some redirection towards the plus forum and a little promotion to plus forum in his wrapups. he does say its the first place he checks for show suggestions.

Is it possible to have in this forum area a open-to-all show discusiions and comments etc and the rest is for Plus members - it might also encourage non - members to get a membership.

I totally forgot non plus people cant sign in. maybe that's why its quiet

Great idea! I think a public area hosting the comments of each episode would be cool. The garden is evolving
The more, the merrier.

That is a great suggestion and a good mid-way point.

I brought it up now while Greg is working with the developers, as it might be easier to implement while he's actually working with the coders. I know from personal experience how annoying it is when you've nearly finished a re-build and then clients are like, oh! can I just have these 10 new features that are totally incompatible with everything else you just did? : )

Regardless, I wanted to ask you mob first, because without your agreement, it's a moot point.

Thanks for your input!
