Cheap help – the kind that works for free. TwoHarborsForum has been around for nearly 11 years now. The bulletin board has been the main drawing card for all of those years. But, things change. The bulletin board activity has slowed considerably over the last several months. I think there are multiple reasons for the slowdown. A relatively small pool of participants, occasional bad manners, and sometimes just running out of things to talk about. There are also more and more people using sites like Facebook to satisfy their urge for a little online communication between friends. Nothing wrong with that – personally, I love Facebook.

I think there is still a place for a site like this. Take a look at PerfectDuluthDay for an example of a blog site that is thriving. They do some interesting things there. I would like to see this little site become more active in a similar way. I’m going to be making some changes in the registration for the site, changes that will allow people besides me to post stories. Generally, stories will not appear until they are approved by a site administrator (me). Maybe eventually there will be a few writers that can help out with site moderation too.

Please post some comments with thoughts and ideas.

Thanks!
