It's hard to gain a critical mass of members with so many platforms out there. I suggest thinking of ways to post or share across platforms that would bring people to this one. When it was new, LinkedIn added a feature that tweeted posts to Twitter. Maybe automatically posting summaries to other platforms?
@billkirkham Hi Bill, nice suggestion. I think that is a good idea. I will start promoting this on my social media after New Year. right now this is kind of Beta testing. There are buttons on top of each topic that people can share it to a few social media sites
Automatic repost might be a bit too much. I intend to let this happen naturally, that people will just share relevant posts to solicit discussion
I think this is intended to be a very focused site with just timber engineering, so I am really not expecting too many people. I think 2 groups will be important:
1. top experts, who might be available to provide answers and insights.
2. students and young timber professionals, who will keep the site alive.
I will try my best to coordinate a bit at the beginning. then it should grow naturally. I'd be happen if we reach 200 members by the end of 2025.
