This is a completely random thought/suggestion, but I figured it might be worth a conversation…
Has anyone considered having the club’s forum hosted on Reef2Reef? There are several others who do and it is an extremely active forum. I’m on there all the time and people could discover the club there who are from the area but found R2R first. I have no idea what hosting there entails, but it might be a way to drive more traffic and conversation.
we need to keep the site and forum as that is what the sponsors pay for, if we just use a sub-forum on another site we would lose a lot of our sponsors.
This is just a temporary forum, we will be switching to Zenforo in Jan. with a full portal with the sponsor banners back, it also has a lot more hooks into social networks like post sharing to Facebook and twitter.
