B2Blog: ThomasNet Forums...more to talk about

Monday, January 22, 2007

Since I posted about ThomasNet's new forums, I've got a few comments and wanted to update a few things:

I posted a thread about pricing-on-websites in the marketing section (yes, I will get back to this subject soon).
One user said his post linking from ThomasNet forums to GlobalSpec got deleted. I'm not dissing TN for doing so, that's a pragmatic business decision. A quick search confirms no posts referencing GS.
That same user pointed out that GlobalSpec has their own forums called CR4, which I didn't know about. The home page is a little crowded, but it's got good posts.
In fairness, I searched CR4 and found only one reference to ThomasNet.

Thanks for the info. I didn't know the GS had a forum, either! I guess they're not doing a great job marketing it!

Dave,

Thanks for posting! The website pricing issue should definitely stir up some lively discussion among the Forum audience.

To quickly address the deleted post issue: We are thrilled to have users posting from all domains, as long as they adhere to the terms and conditions explained in the Forum Rules section of our forum pages, found here. Unfortunately, the user in question did not, and we remove all posts in violation of these rules.

I hope this addresses the concerns expressed by some of your audience.
