AskBurnie and RSS Feed for Discussion Groups

We have been disappointed in the usage of our new discussion forums at our Firebrandz community site, although many users in the community have been asking for this tool. Not too surprising really - discussion forums are chicken and egg equations. You need activity to generate more activity, and we simply haven't accelerated yet. We have been building the community nicely though - with 140 vetted, qualified members, but that hasn't translated into discussion forum activity yet. We have had a very good response for our webinars and have seven new webinars scheduled as listed at Firebrand Events.

To boost activity on the forums, we just added an RSS feed, so that members can subscribe and see new posts. This can be found at http://www.firebrandz.com/phpBB3/rss.php. We have also added a new email that we will promote as one-stop shopping for all of our users - AskBurnie@FirebrandTech.com. Burnie will be happy to answer any questions, and relevant topics will be posted on the Discussion Forums.
