Talk Among Yourselves: Use Forums to Connect with Other Members
Our tagline best defines the purpose of WebRing: Creating Communities. Connecting People. On a technological level, our unique NavBar does just that, but it's not the only option we provide for connecting people.
If connection is what you seek, you don't necessarily need a Web site to participate on WebRing.
Connecting With Other WebRing Members
There are many ways you can start dialog with other members. There's the Shoutbox and the WebRing blogs, and of course, you can always contact members directly via their profiles. Then there's one of the most effective ways to engage in terrific discussions: Forums!
Every WebRing Community has the ability to have a forum. When you visit a community, look for the "Forum" tab. If it's present, it has a forum. Whether that forum is "active" or not will require you to take a peek. Many managers turn on their forums to provide the space for you to start a discussion, ask questions, or just share what you're doing in regards the topic of the forum. They're just not always used by the members.
Here are some effective and active forums you can find:
If you don't have a Web site and have been wondering how you can
participate in WebRing, here's an outlet. Search for some WebRing
Communities that focus on your interest and then check to see if they
have enabled their forum. If they do, join the forum and start a new
thread or reply to some that have already started.
Want to see a forum activated in a particular WebRing Community?
Contact the manager and detail the conversation you wish to have in the forum. Not all managers will grant your request, but you never know until you ask.
Here's a Tip for All You WebRing Community Managers
You can use forums to drive more traffic to your Community. Start some threads on your forum, then be proactive and notify your members that you've started the conversation. Remember that in terms of search-generated traffic these days, content is king. Forums rank high in search results, especially if they are active.
Share Your Favorite Forums
The conversations that take place on forums can get pretty interesting. We would like to start a weekly tribute called "Forum Friday." Have you monitored or partaken in a particularly intriguing forum discussion? Let us know by commenting below and we'll consider featuring it!
