The NSCSS Forum was started in early 2006 to support member interaction, to provide more immediate updates breaking news, and to explore the potential of more dynamic web-based content. It was particularly motivated to get member input on redesigning the website.
Now invitation only, all NSCSS members are encouraged to post news and announcements on this forum: request an invitation code here or email webmaster2007 AT nscss DOT org.
Forum impact on nscss.org traffic
The forum accounts for a significant portion of nscss.org traffic. Visitors are now as likely to be drawn to our forum than to our home page. The forum is the most actively spidered part of the nscss.org website. As a result, a google search for Kari Sever or for Phil Scoles shows their forum profiles in the top 5 results. Our nscss.org/jobs.html posting on behalf of Geo-Technology Associates has lower search ranking than the identical forum posting. Mark McClain's promotion ranks higher through our forum than through his company's web site.
A wiki is an easy-to-use Web site that makes it profoundly easy to collaborate on projects. This wiki has been made public to allow anyone to read it, while still restricting editing to those who know the wiki's password. Edits are done in plain text and don't require learning fancy or complex codes like HTML. Just click Edit page and start typing! It's also easy to create new pages and make links to pages you've already made.
Where do I start?
Passwords, available to NSCSS members, will be emailed on a regular interval. Regular users are encouraged to create a permanent “PBwiki Identity” by visiting http://my.pbwiki.com. These users won't be affected by periodic password changes.
What is next?
A great place to contribute content is about yourself at MemberBiographies.
