Idea to combine the M/L and forums

Postby ztirffritz » 24 Aug 2004, 04:43

I'm a member of another forum at www.experts-exchange.com. This forum brings users together to solve problems. There is a system in place to award points for solution providers and contributors. It functions just fine as a message board, but it also functions as a tech tool as the points are an incentive to get good answers and do research. You can join and earn points by answering questions. You can then ask questions and use your points as a reward for whomever answers your question. You can also buy points so that you can ask as many questions as you want. My company pays for my points so it works really well for me, but if I were smarter I could theoretically do it for free. When someone responds to my question I receive an email. This makes it just like the mailing lists. I can even combine the emails into a whole list of the responses every day so that i'm not buried under a flood of emails. You should check it out as an example of how this could work. Just a thought.
OS X...because making UNIX user friendly was easier than fixing Windows.
