What does the Web hosting industry really need? Well how about one more set of Web hosting forums? Now we have Web Hosting Talk and Web Hosting Chat. We have Host Hideout and a plethora of other choices out there for Web hosting message boards.
There is a new dog in the fight though, and it is WHLounge.com.
Now from just looking around for the very first time here, I have to say I love the style. It is very clean and not that cluttered looking. All your usual forum topics are there. They could use some members though – so if you are looking for a fresh new place to talk about Web hosting, give them a shot.
The one piece of advice that I would give the folks behind WHLounge.com is that you don’t want to become the next Web Hosting Talk. Well, let me rephrase that. Sure everybody would like to have the popularity that Web Hosting Talk has, but the egos over there just make it no fun for anybody. Remember to keep things informative, but fun and don’t take yourself too seriously.
There was one quote I really loved to hear though when I was reading about these new set of forums.
“One of our main missions is providing a friendly place where Web hosts and end-users can discuss industry related issues without getting attacked because of newbie questions.”
After hearing that, I can promise you I’ll be signing up as soon as possible.
