Re: How to create a forum that isn't associated with a group?
Another way of looking at this is community size. A lot of us won’t have mega huge communities like Facebook. Not even 50.000 members. So then it comes down to fragmentation of user activity. Do we need a lot of venues and ways for users to interact?
I’m quite content with P2 for status updates, a forum and wire on personal pages. This is already a lot and groups on top of that will only confuse and fragment discussions.
Groups will probably be great with tons of functionality but where’s KISS?
Anyways, I’ll have a go at it. Probably hackish but perhaps good enough for me.
