TWO English FileMaker Forums

[sanne]

I noticed Andy saying: "Noticed your post on FMForums"

Sometimes I do the same thing, I post the same question on FMWorld-forum and here on FMForums.

And sometimes, I also post the question on the Dutch-FileMaker Forum (Clarify.net)

Is there a lot of difference to be expected in the answers?

I mean, there are TWO English FileMaker Forums. Why? What's the difference?

The difference is that FM Forums has 7x the membership and traffic. More questions being asked and answered.

==================================================

So, then what would be the reason of existence for FMWorld?

And: does bigger always means better?

Because sometimes it lookes like postings on FMForum tend to "get lost": once they are out of focus (2 or 3 days without reply), they are dead end: they are stuck and nobody answers them anymore.

There are many other FileMaker forums, as well. FileMaker Cafe, Mark Jeffords' discussion list, BlueWorld, and lots of others that I don't visit frequently. There is also at least one old bbs that has a lot of archived information.

I think the one nice feature that FileMakerWorld has that this forum doesn't is the ability to find all unanswered posts. Since that doesn't exist, it's easy to for a post to get lost without anyone realizing it hasn't been answered.
