Coutts Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Alexa.com states the reason why this forum is so active is because the majority of it's users don't work and therefore have time on their hands. As for the content, Alexa states that most users of the forum didn't go to University. Does it all make sense now? I'm a diamond in the rough.

ccit Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 As has been said, lots of forums fall by the wayside. The most important factor in the success of a forum is the administration and moderation. In the past I have used forums for information and some are so badly moderated that they are not worth visiting because the members are rude and nasty and are allowed to get away with it. Also threads get messed up when the mods allow them to go entirely off topic. People on here sometimes complain about aspects of moderation but it is a hard job because the forum is so busy, hence they need quite a few mods and helpers, all of whom might have slightly different ideas. Perhaps they need to work extra hard at teamwork. It is not an easy job but the success of Sheffield Forum would seem to indicate that they are mostly getting it right.

Mister M Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Your not a Muslim, yet you have an opinion?!?! Lol That surprises me as well. I know the people who run Sheffield Forum have started a Leeds Forum, but the last time I checked it was nothing like as active as this one. How long has Sheffield Forum been running and how long did it take to build up a solid following of regular users? The best thing about this Forum is the information you can quickly pick up about so many different things, whether that be a new restaurants, an incident in the city or who to use if your boiler has conked out. We even get the police posting on here because they know there's such a big following. Regards Doom I think Manchester also has a forum which is similar in design to this Forum. It isn't nearly as popular though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
