We're just testing out a new feature at TPN - the TPN Forums. I'd love it if some of you could journey over there and test it out for me. Any feedback much appreciated. I'm hoping it'll become a place where the TPN audience and hosts can hang out, have a few drinks, swap stories, catch a movie, hug, spiral into some drunken groping, find themselves compromised, go with it, have a secret, torrid affair, try to break it off, start stalking each other, participate in identity theft, lose all perspective, go into group therapy, and end up crossing the street when they see the other one approaching... where was I...? ...
Why draw audience away from your blogs and podcasts? Seems ill-advised business move when comments can be left on the blogs (or phoned/skyped into the podcasts). Especially if the forums turn out to be dead like most forums do. And how many times has phpBB been hacked since it was released? Better batten down the hatches.

T, we get requests for forums all the time, from hosts and the audience. In the past, some hosts have set up their own forums which have been pretty busy. My primary objective as a business is to build a community for our hosts and audience. Comments and forums are different beasts. This gives anyone the opportunity to start a conversation with the rest of the TPN ecosystem.

I love forums - The more places to waste my time the better as far as I'm concerned.
When will I grow up and develop some discipline. Well not today so off I go to have a look then.
