My advice regarding the Mises Community (video)

Miscellaneous General
21

Awesome! It is back! Thanks!

Right on Niels. We need less forum areas so it’s easy to post and find posts to read. Regarding groups I think they would still have a place if they were hidden and invite only from the creator. This way you could a forum amongst a few users who are interested in a particular topic or issue and wish to discuss it amongst themselves.

Btw anyone any idea of what’s happening to this forum? I most certainly hope it’ll be archived.

I agree with everything said in the videos.

I have not even be able to activate an account on log in to the new community, i thought it might be my email address as it is very short, so i used another one and still was unable to login. I am glad you have brought back the old one.

I have seen some forums make big changes that have killed the user base, but i think mises has a strong following and people will use whatever is available as people have a hunger to communicate with other like minded people.

Personally i think that investing time in development of a custom site is a bit of a waste of time. Although i do appreciate all the hardwork and think it is realy good. I would just use already built forum software and integrate that in to the site.

I also prefer drupal over wordpress. But that is just my own preference.

It seems dead… No new posts since 2008

25

It was off-line for extended periods of time.

26

I had recommended some time back that whoever operates the LvMI forums consider using a commercial forum, such as VBulletin which I understand is pretty inexpensive to license.

This x100000000000

crickets

28

I’ve heard myBB works well too, and is free.

29

Personally, I would prefer a VBullentin type forum.

How come I need to “hack” my posts for them to appear properly, on either forum? For me, the new community is just too busy, with its feeds, friends requests, blog integration, etc. Those are features I really don’t care about.

Why not save yourself the trouble and migrate the whole thing on Facebook or Google+?

Maybe I’m missing something here, but I’ll give the new community a try, and see what happens.

I also prefer forums which I cannot hack this easily:

Aw, Nielsio is like a puppet :wink:

31

Oh my..

32

Ok, that ^, was not me :stuck_out_tongue:

33

I’m not sure should I laugh or cry.

34

Thanks for the heads up. That loophole should be closed now.

35

A couple new Community blog posts here. I’ll try to update that blog frequently henceforth.

36

Now that thread gives me “There was an error when replying to that topic” when I try to post :frowning:

37

DJS,

Do you think anything can be done about the speed? The new community loads about 2.5 times slower than the old one.

38

Nah, still got problems:

http://community.mises.org/groups/the-commons/forum/topic/suggestion-box/?topic_page=6&num=15

This time all I did was open a tag and not close it.

Now that I think about it, does this forum also have problems?

39

Yes it does! Check out Nielsio:
