Suggested Improvement to blow away other community platforms
Jul 26 2008, 7:21 PM EDT I am a firm believer in wetpaint wikis as being an unbelievably brilliant tool. Our own wiki is very successful. I would like to see the discussion forum facility enhanced. We also have a sepparate forum (www.guzzista.myclan.me.uk) which s also very successful. Currently though we have members on the wiki and members on the forum. It would be amazing to be able to bring them all together. There are those who love creating content on the wiki but there are others who prefer the banter of the forum. Our forum is a phpbb2 forum. Our users love the smilies, the fact that you can post images, url links etc etc. We started the sepparate forum because the wetpaint version is a bit basic and people don't use it that often. What I do like about the wetpaint forum is that it is linked to the site's pages. If there was a way of making the wetpaint forum work in a similar way to phpbb type forums, or if there were a way in which a phpbb forum could be integrated/embedded in to the wiki I think there would be an explosion in usage. We have links with forums that have 5,000 members...imagine that volume on our beloved wikis! There would be no better community building platform anywhere out there! Thanks for listening.
