Love the idea here at Indietalk.com but i have to ask, is it working?
The public forums seem very quiet and not mcuh gets looked at or commented on. Maybe the private forums are better but I'm always loathe to pay unless I know where that investment is going.
I love this place and think it will continue to grow and I don't want to knock the hardworking admin staff and moderators as theya re doing a great job!
I think the biggest problem (appart from the rather drab design) is too many forums. It's sometimes hard to find what your looking for and within that hard to remember where you've been.
Maybe the admin guys need to look at tightening things down, making the site more focused and getting on board some more gurus that will work the publci forums to encourage peopel to stay who are unwilling to pay for membership.
Also a manifesto telling people where the money goes... becaus ethe presumtion will be in the owners pockets (hey capitalism is never a bad thing)....
But at least people like Shooting People let you know where the investment goes. Also could Indie talk develop a networking mailshot like Shooting People as they seem tio have a major monopoly and with the base here, I think with the right work Indie Talk could top them.
Anyway that's my thoughts... any one else?
