Building a More Active Message Board

Building an active message board isn't easy. You can invite all the friends you have and still not have enough messages to create an active discussion. Forrester Research estimates that a typical site requires at least 2,500 visitors per day to generate enough postings to maintain active message boards. With Coolboard, you never need to worry that your message board will sit unused with only a handful of messages.

Coolboard's unique community sharing system allows you to share messages with message boards on hundreds of related sites. While each site can both customize and moderate their own board, all boards in the same shared community can benefit from increased forum activity by sharing messages posted from any site in the community
