It would be interesting to make a journey through the different forums and see how each excel and what areas each one lacks in.
The dynamics of this one is probably much different than Wordshare, for instance, since it is a ministers only forum. An open forum would seem to require a different latitude than a ministers only one. I'm sure our new members would be able to address that.
They are, as you would imagine, all quite different from each other. As you stated, each has their strengths and each has their limitations. This one will be no different I suspect.
I am, however, anxious to see a few changes that needed to be made from a 'recently defunct' forum on this new one. Maybe a - More Talk; Less Grilling - attitude.
