Krishna/fanne: Let's not go into stratagey,defense, economics
We cannot restrict ourselves to what another site decides to allow or not. Besides, this site is not a subset of any one particular site. This site should be open to all Indians who want to discuss issues pertaining to India.
Suggestions:
(a) Site has to get members beyond BR. There are several good postors out there. Have seen a few good Indians in the Paki forums too <img src='http://www.india-forum.com/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/ohmy.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':o' /> .
(<img src='http://www.india-forum.com/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/cool.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='B)' /> Rearranging the forum structure might be a good idea. It's managable for now, say 3 to 6 months down the lane as the content here grows, it could be an issue.
© Build some threads in the library folders with links only - no discussion. Could be a kind of archive or databank categorized by topics.
(d) Forum has to little more focus outward in terms of being a 'doer' rather than just :argue or do bak-bak only. Ideas should be solicited, projects identified (raising fund for Yetteji or Francois G or helping other Indians in creating sites or contents), call for volunteers etc.
(e) Lastly, spread the word about this forum
