Business forum
I am considering setting up a business discussion forum but concerned that people will abuse it and use if for general chat - does anyone know of any sucessful business only forums? (ie not technical talks)

Not sure of any business only forums, but having set up several websites (including forums/message boards) I have come to the conclusion that if you want to keep the chit-chat and negativity out you pretty much have to set up your boards as "moderated". Meaning no one can post directly, but instead the post is emailed to a moderator how can edit and thus allow or deny postings (kinda like the links "validation" part).

Good Luck!

Hi Will,

Yes that is really a nice one - I guess if you start moderating too much the whole idea of a forum goes away.

Seems that business related forums don't get a lot of posts though
