CK, more of a message board with various forums contained in it. Much like what the Metro Pulse is doing now. http://www.metropulse-forums.com/

Isn’t that what Instaknox was supposed to be? Or are you meaning something else by “forum”?

Sorry, meant to add to the previous post. A good blog entry from Jack Lail (www.jacklail.com) on community news effort and some of its failures.

I do not know, guys. The efforts that I have seen at open forums remind me of the “community news” efforts of recent times. Neither has seemed too successful. I have participated in forums related to news on stocks and related to business improvement and transformation. The time to sort through the noise has always turned me off.

Blogs like this strike me as non-open forums or directed forums and seem more successful, as you have a director framing discussion. Would be willing to try, though.
