Hi i just found out that there are very less participation in the FORUM HUB topics.
There are quite a lot of Interesting topics in that which requires some enthu participation. Are we lacking in the enthu? Iam sure we can visit those links also everytime we come here.
DF Team:
========
one suggestion can u include this link on the top of the forum.html also, and make it blink. Iam sure people cud miss this link. Esply those who access from office, who visits generally the thread of their interest.

some more suggestions
-tamilsabai
-tamilmandram
If the HUB (with topics like Music, Sports, and English literature that can be discussed by non-Tamils as well)aims to sound less regional, then we can get truly creative. Let us know.

CM, sent you an e-mail to the first ID with the details.
Muthax, thank you. Will confirm once the check reaches me. ["avial.com"?? :-)]

Muthax & Udhaya,
Yes, we don't want it to be restricted to Tamil.
Also, preferably no misspelling-prone ones
like kalandurayaadal.com ..
Think more general and easy to type names.

Kanchana, RR and others i suggested avial.com becos the topics discussed will be of a mixture. moreover 'avial' is *not* an unpopular word even with people from northern part of india. :)))
well we can always arrive at a better name :))

Well one English word which means "avial" (not in the foodstuff sense) is "Melange". So how about :
http://www.melange.com ?
It doesnt exist already either!
- From: bull (@ horus.erlm.siemens.de)
on: Thu Oct 8 02:29:57 EDT 1998
I wonder if Rajaraman and Palanivel will remember Melange from the "good old days" and approve of this!

Manisekaran,
I have read and digested your postings there. I have been articulating my thoughts before posting them to dignify the breadth and sincerity of your contribution there. You'll hear from me soon in that thread.

Dear TFM fans,
I have suggested a new thread in the forum hub called "Philosophical transactions on music". To view it before it is put on the hub, I request that you see the thread named similarly in the DF. I request you all to contribute so that we may develop a deeper understanding of music.
Regards
Murali Sankar/Swarapriyan

Other issues regarding the HUB:
-New topic suggestions take too long to be processed
-There is still no clear vision about the HUB's scope. Is it shooting for a chat-room-like atmosphere for everybody, hoping that non-Indians will participate too? Or is it trying to cater to Indians all over the world? Figure out your Target Audience (I hate using Marketing terms but it fits here)
-The current topics (except for Music and English literature) seem very Indian-and-Thamizh oriented, in which case the elected neutral domain name,"ForumHub" is a needless dilution.
-Why can't all existing threads be displayed like current topics in the newtfmpage? It's not much of a drop from the way the HUB looks now, besides, it may generate more traffic since in one glance visitors will know which threads are active. The topics can appear under their respective headings, Music, Literature, etc.
-If you want the HUB to be an Omnibus, then how about more categories, like Society, Travel, Food, etc. to bring in more diverse participants.

Udhaya,
pls wait for the new ForumHub to be out. We have already addressed almost all the issues you have brought out.
There is going to be lot of changes to what you see now as the forum hub.
