How do you build community spirit on your site? Do you have any techniques in place or have you found that when community spirit becomes a strong enough force on your site that some members start to feel isolated and alone?
I aint too good with building community spirit myself at least I dont think I am. Do you have any good techniques because I really cannot think of any
It really is simple stuff like: An introduction forum where you as the owner and others actually reply and give genuine welcome Be to be active and participating in the forum as much as possible. Respond to member questions. The site design plays a part too. Make it look good like yo ucare about your site members notice. Engage members about what they want in the site and listen. I just had members ask about a calendar of events. IPB has this I've just never turned it on and in just a few days it has become very popular and my members are thankful. Going along with design, don't clutter your site with ads. Place them tactfully. When there are problem users address them immediately... but Don't be an SOB of a Administrator.
