Topic: Testing out the Forum. Thoughts/Feedback

Lovely new addition by BT team. Actually heard recently a guy mention that he has a large group of people on facebook that would be interested in moving to Steem if Steem had an integrated Forum function.
So there you have it.

Ill send him the link.

From what im seeing here right now, As Cryptodrive said, its still looking bland a bit, like eating oatmeal. :D
(Oh look the smileys work already)

Didnt notice any bugs atm outside of the aesthetic and window positioning kind...

One thing i would recommend is that you try and avoid, at any cost, beneficiary fees.
That is the death of platforms here.
There are a number of ways you can monetize the forums...

An idea i had would be creating premium on-platform digital content similar to what Discord is doing... Even take a look at https://quidd.co/ that sells digital stickers.. Try and incorporate another monetization method or i fear beneficiary fees will scare a lot of people off. Try being imaginative in that regard.

Thats about it for now.. See ya around.

    Thanks for the support and suggestion. We are working on the couple of models:

    1- Split 50/50 of beneficiary rewards. So that it creates an incentives for forum owners to build their community and have instant monetization.
    2- There is also the option that the owners pay us a monthly fee to have their forum and they get to keep the beneficiary rewards (set by them)

    We are open to other suggestions. Ads could be part of the plan but it's definitely not a favorite of people in general. But the ad model could work.

    Ads could work, yes. I still think there is an opportunity here for more inovative solutions.
    When you mention beneficiary fees, users tend to step back a bit. Especially now that a cut in author rewards is being talked about with the Blocktrades worker proposal system.
