Ctownforums Poll Linky
Almost 48 hours ago I created ctownforums.com in response to numerous requests for a better forum in which people can comment and discuss deals.
There are many advantages to the forum format, however only about 15% of readers actually went over there, and only 40 some actually signed up.
As one person emailed me, he just wants to get all of the info at one place.
So, i set up a poll at ctownforums, but you do have to be registered to vote there.
Please feel free to comment on this thread if you do not feel like registering there.
Here are the options for ctownforums:
1. Should i get rid of comments on ctownbochur.com, thereby forcing anyone who wants to read more info or ask questions to the thread on ctownforums?
2. Should i keep the format exactly as is, and allow those who want to comment on ctownbochur at ctownbochur, and those who would rather post at ctownforums to post at ctownforums?
3 .Should i keep ctownforums open, but not in the current manner. I would guess it would be a place where people would be able to share deals more openly and start topics going more in depth into specific deals and advice?
4.Should i not change what wasn’t broken and just delete ctownforums?.

if you want to be more like a fatwallet/slickdeals than remove the blog and stick to forums. if you want to be like edeal, than keep the format you have now. one thing for sure you cant have both. at any rate keep up the good work in all that you do.
This blog isn’t going away in favor of a forum, forums are simply too dificult and time-consuming for the average visitor.
However, personally i don’t like or go to edeals because it is cluttered with tons of garbage every day, which is why i made a site with deals and advice that i feel is worthwhile.
The same problem exists with FW and SD, too much clutter, too hard to find anything worthwhile.
At any rate the point of ctownforums was simply to add some sense to the comments system.
With a forum a popular topic keeps getting bumped up, with the comments here they keep going further down no matter what…
yea, im definately feeling the anti-edeal vibe, thats why i stick with the smaller sites. as for the forum, there is no way you will get the amount of traffic and posts as slickdeals so its pretty much a lost cause.
just dump the forums
lol, the intention of ctownforums is not to compete with SD!
it’s merely a place where people can comment on deals in a better format than the blogger comment system allows…
