A second / auxiliary place to communicate

Post by esgici »

Hi friends

I don't know did you noticed, today ( Apr, 29; 2015 ) some access problems occurred in our forum :(

In that situations we has a communication problem; personally, I panicked always :(

I think, if we have a second / auxiliary place such as Google group or another else, we can ask / answer about what are happening.

At last our dear admin can send an announce to the group such as "Some (server) problems occurred, don't panic, everything is under control".

With this idea I was built a Google news group. If confirm by you, I think open it for this purpose.

What is your opinions ?

A second / auxiliary place to communicate

Post by Pablo César »

My personal opinion is to keep in this forum.

Normally servers can announce when something happen.

In normal way, this happining should be normalize and I hope nothing for loose...

But IMHO to create another base of some kind of forum for conference, will divert our efforts to gather information and solve the problem itself.

Hi Friends:

I must agree with both, Esgici and Pablo Cesar.-
With Esgici, because as most of our members - me included - are anxious and need to be permanently in contact with the forum, so when it comes down or fails (as it happens last weeks), most of us comes in panic.-
With Pablo Cesar, because is not a good idea having two ways to gather our knowledge or experience, these will diversify principal activity of forum.-
An alternate solution is to exchange personal mail so it will be possible to contact any member any time in or out forum.-
It's just another option.-
With regards to all my friends
Eduardo

Yes, it is better to have a place outside, where we can just tell about the problems of this forum.

But, it will be confusing if we run a parallel forum. IMHO, it is not advisable to run a parallel forum.

Thanks Esgici and Pablo for your valuable suggestions.

Now, whatsapp is also a quick method to reach any person in the globe immediately. We shall have a personal contact then.

We can have a whatsapp group so that any problems in the forum will be reported immediately to us. What is your opinion?
East or West HMG is the Best.
South or North HMG is worth.

We maybe also can develop our own Windows APP in HMG?
