If the forum is intended as a mechanism for MCM folks to post (more there than elsewhere) then I doubt it was worth the money.
It's not that at all. We did this to get the AGA more publicity in an attempt to get more members while allowing us a different pathway to share with other people. What I see at the moment is the MCM are the folks that people recognize and associate with the AGA. We could have a million and one general members posting all the time in the forum but if people don't recognize that they're AGA members it would seem that the AGA isn't supporting something it's doing. At this point, it's all about name recognition until people recognize other people as AGA members too. What people need to see, even if it's only an occasional occurance, is that "shieber", "KRandall", "CherylR", or anonapersona next to a post in their thread.
I know we all have many other things on our plates. We're all adults and have lives that need to be tended to. I'm in the middle of a Plant Physiology class. It's really hard and I should be preparing right now instead of typing. I appreciate all of the hard work you put into this endeavour called the AGA. Without it, it wouldn't be around right now.
One post, once a week as long or as short as you want it to be. Let the people see your names there so that they feel that the AGA really is behind this and is trying to support them on a day-to-day basis, not just once a quarter.
