The idea of starting a forum scares me a little bit because I do not know how much work it would be for me to moderate. But, I’m thinking about adding one. I just noticed that it was actually an option that through BlueHost I can use SimpleScripts to add bbPress (put out by WordPress) to my site. I thought it would be nice to have a place for people who use my site to interact with one another more, rather just randomly in the comments section of my blog. I also thought it might provide a bit more fodder for my blogging because I could see what types of questions users were asking then maybe respond here or point blog readers to the questions, so that they might offer a bit of helpful discussion.
So, I guess my question is: Have any of you ever worked with an online forum? Is it more trouble than it’s worth? Or, does it add a cool extra element of interaction to a site? …
