[QUOTE="MapleDots, post: 2348118, member: 322549283"] I've mostly been watching these topics, I noticed a couple of things. The rivalry between the two forums is definitely stimulating conversation and the thing about topics like these is sometimes it's just good to let the members rave on for a bit. It gives them an outlet and when things cool down who is really going to remember this topic once its buried under a ton of real domaining information. I did notice that the posts on np have declined over the years, I used to see a lot more new discussion topics but they have dwindled to a handful per day. I won't comment on the logistics of that or why it's happening but I do think in the end conversation can be stimulated on both platforms by engaging each other and linking back and forth. The linking from DNForum to np is definitely driving traffic back to here and np is losing out by not allowing the bantering back on their site. You can see with some of the new np member accounts here that the process of engagement has begun. In the end the forum that allows more of the free flow of information will probably gain the most. My advice to mods is to moderate lightly and redirect instead of deleting content. If I was moderating and had a disagreement with a member I would state my opinion (or point) and ask other members to chime in and state theirs. The community will decide who is right and nobody needs to try to overpower another member. Everybody will read into the posts and see what they want to see. Repeating my point of view numerous times it will not change anyone's mind. My time is much better spent reading the posts and learning from the other responses. I keep saying a forum has two assets.... it's members and it's content, the job of the platform is to encourage both to thrive. Without an opposing point of view there is no forum, if we all had the same opinion we might as well go and read an online magazine. So I am happy there are two platforms, may the rivalries continue and hopefully challenge us to write some well articulated posts. [/QUOTE]
