i think steve is right..the only prob is if it does expand you have to watch out for the flamers.as long as the board has bona fide members and you dont have guests able to post....it can be a terrific resource for everyone....

There is another English wc forum where I think its by invitation only. Its for more experienced window cleaners, and hardly any flaming at all. I don't think I'm allowed to advertise it here though. I've learned more from that EU forum than the other American ones, and the members go out of their way to research for you.
Who will be the first to spill the beans?
Andrew, John, Terry?

Flaming is a term used when discussions get out of hand and members start insulting each other. Believe it or not it can be quite common on message boards and tends to happen as member lists grow!
Although we have had to remove a couple of posts which were 'unprofessional' flaming is more of a problem where guests can post messages without having to register.
We are trying to improve the site all the time and, needless to say, your suggestions are welcomed.

Thanks for that Forum Admin :D It looks like you are getting all these things sorted out quite quickly because i noticed a few posts you deleted last week. If people can not post in a polite and professional way then why bother posting at all. ???

If you have private messaging on a forum like this, all the nasty WC's would build "gangs" and go around picking on poor little defencless WC's 8)

I believe that PM's were allowed on CIU for the first few years, but some fool supplier decided to abuse the privilege for advertising purposes, so it was removed along with the memberlist. :(

I opened this with trepidation thinking that admin had read the arguing thread and thought we should all grow up a bit and start behaving.

Mostly my time on ciu has been positive, it has taught me things that may have taken a decade to learn on the job. Some ideas i have been resistant to, i have bowed to others who claimed success, and been glad that i did.

The best bit about the forum is it doesn't tell me what i know, it tells me what i don't know.
