We need an investment forum

Re: We need an investment forum

Would you perhaps need a consultant to invest in a thread beforehand?

Re: We need an investment forum

so to reiterate, an investment forum isn't happening because it's not necessary, yet when we evaluate the existing forum list:

Investing is something you should start early, as early as 21-25 years old if you want a better retirement. My dad knows so much about investing, he's my go-to when I have a question about anything investing-wise.

+1 this idea of making an investing section, we are all getting older and now is actually the perfect time to start making people see that investing early is going to help them out a ton in the long run. Thanks for bringing this up Arch.

Re: We need an investment forum

I think the reasoning behind not adding it is simply because there isn't going to be a huge amount of discussion given that very few have the expertise/knowledge to really discuss anything about it. With regards to the community base, it would fit better as Chit Chat discussion. I could be incorrect, but that's how I see it.

I personally don't disagree with adding this section either. I think anyone could use and would welcome investing tips, despite how out of place it might be. People thought (myself included) that the fitness forums were not going to do well, and they're relatively active with occasional input from people other than the regulars. It didn't flop.

I'm alright with this addition personally, but it is up to administration to change their mind.

This is really the most valuable thing about the fitness forum -- a few knowledgeable people have helped others learn to discuss it.

It's been really unclear why "but it won't get many posts" is a good reason to not have a forum. There is no physical idea of space here; there is no kind of limitation on how many forums you can have. You aren't somehow limiting the activity of one forum because another less active forum exists, and I suspect that's the mentality involved in dismissing a new forum's creation.

Re: We need an investment forum

admin-derived topical forums feel pretty outdated now that the reddit/8chan-type "create yr own space" model is so popular. a thing like that only tied to the site might be very special

how do you think a database works

Re: We need an investment forum

just given how badly ffr seems to be ran in the backend an investment forum may inadvertently cause a bunch of backups of NULL topics that aren't being posted by the 7 other people that post on the forums
