Subject: RE: What Happened to the State Forum Pages?Hi! I hear you all.
A few years ago when we pulled the plug on them, we were battling a problem with very little discussion happening in the Triathlon Talk forum, such that it looked "dead" when new people arrived. In an effort to increase discussion here, we consolidated many of the forums. The thinking was that social media had changed the way people interact online, and discussion forums just weren't going to come back like this, so we should consolidate.
I can see that having state forums was valuable, though, for people making connections in their local areas, forming training groups, etc.
Please share ideas for how we can handle this moving forward:
1 ) Make state forums again
2 ) Use the search to "find friends" on the site in your state
3 ) Create Facebook Groups under the BT brand by state or city, upon request or for each state
4 ) your ideas...
