What kind of potential? Please elaborate...
Let's look at the travel section.
With all the great information here on this forum, is it being presented in the best possible way? Can you think of any ways of making the info more accessible and user friendly?
If somebody wants information about a city, is reading through pages and pages of posts, often with the discussion going in many directions at once really the best system?
One idea that was mentioned here previously is incorporating a wiki. I think that's a great idea and a big step in the right direction. However, I do think there's so much more than that which can be done.
I think I'm allergic to posting my ideas out in the open, I just can't bring myself to do it... (hey I might decide to start a competing site
) so I'll let you figure out on your own how you think it can be improved.
I guess what I was trying to say to Dan in my earlier post was: You can't limit yourself to what the forum software can or can't do, you gotta figure out how to have the site reach it's maximum potential and I'm sure you can make it work technically.
