Business Forums advice and help

[Alvin]

Business forums come in many shapes and sizes , as this business forum is in its early stages I wondered if people could express what there expectations would be for an ideal business forum.?

I think a business forum should be a wealth of information and a collaboration of business forum members willing to offer business advice and help in any capacity they can. The most useful business forum is one with a wide range of people, including those just starting out- because how dull it would be without questions !

A relaxed atmosphere where newcomers do not feel intimidated or their lack of knowledge belittled, so people are not afraid to just jump in and start asking/helping.

A system that allows you to find faq information on a topic quickly without having to trawl through hundreds of threads.

Well set out topic categories so I can easily find the right section to post my question in, not too many though or it gets confusing.

A forum whose main objective is to not to make money at the expense of its contributing members.

Amen to that!

I'd like to see some of the more experienced members (myself included) being in a position where they can help out startups with a reduced cost package etc.
