    Hi paul,

    No I am not the designer of the RIAI website, but I am part of the world of E-Commerce. I am a great fan of Archeire, one of the best sites for the construction industry, I particularly enjoy the forums.

    I will send you an E-mail, with more detail.

    john works for a webdev house so they may not actually be arch. related…

    That’s right Paul and MK. Thanks for the nice remarks by the way.

    The Websites I’m presently working on aren’t really viewable. Still in development. Funnily enough, they’re all charity related: APSO [site re-design] they share our technology and skills with Developing world countries, St. John of God Hospitaller Services, a new Forum website for all international agencies involved in sharing technology etc for Overseas Development.

    Good worthy stuff indeed!
    I must say I’m really beginning to enjoy that type of client and project as opposed to the COMTELINTERDEVCORPSOFT.COM shite.

    Well now, that’d be IDEAL! You’re lucky if you can keep getting those [obviously, it’s not just luck].

    YOU LUCKY SOD YOU

    Guys,

    Jakob Nielsen, the self-proclaimed God of Internet usability ($20,000 a day I believe he charges, says that chat rooms, bulletin boards, etc., are the worst things to add to a site, as they attract nothing but vacuous remarks and meaningless nonsense.

    Any comments in light of how this discussion has developed?

    I disagree,
    It depends on the site itself doesn’t it? Websites that are likely to attract immature teenies who feel very brave and often become involved in slagging matches, are doomed. (well ,their forums are).Have a look through some of these posts, I do not think that they are meaningless, or vacuous, the opposite in fact. People who like to cause ‘trouble’ in a post are more likely to be put off if totally ignored, and/or outnumbered. I stumbled across this site only recently, and find the forums excellent, and useful also.

    No, I actually agree with bunch – playing Devil’s advocate earlier.

    I’m more of a follower of the “Cluetrain Manifesto” (http://www.cluetrain.com) really, which suggests that the beauty of the Web is that it will empower customers by linking them together and allowing them to communicate over such forums as Archeire and exhange their views on products, companies, etc.

    I was just “curious” about the benefits that members of such an active community as this felt they were receiving.

    Oh God, can we please limit this forum to registered users? Using their real names if possible?

    Why so John White? I do not use my ‘full, real name’, would that be a problem? (I’m not being smart by the way.)

    I just think think it would be a further disincentive to people who are posting crap on this forum in order to take the piss

    Generally, I agree, but some people will prefer not to give full names and remain committed to a decent debate. Anonymity may also encourage some to be more open in debate as well. However I do think that it can lead to others abusing it also.

    Another new version of the RIAI site. Looks well, much better than earlier ones (obviously their designer is learning how to design).

    But I do enjoy the Disclaimer page — the link is at the bottom of the front page.

    I agree, a much better looking site from the institute. Hopefully they can continue to keep it up to date. Up to date does not mean a new ‘skin’ every year 😉
