  • Echomail Areas Review

    From Avon@21:1/101 to All on Fri Jan 7 15:26:51 2022
    Hi there

    From HISTORY.TXT last year..

    [snip]

    2021-05-25
    Added several new echomail areas to fsxNet today!

    FSX_GAMING Games/Gaming Chat
    FSX_SPACE Space/Astronomy Chat
    FSX_SPORTS Sports Chat
    FSX_RETRO Retro Computing/Tech Chat
    FSX_TRANSPORT Transportation Chat (All Modes)
    FSX_VIDEO Movies/TV/Streaming Chat
    FSX_MUSIC Music Chat (Artists,Songs Etc)
    FSX_DIY D.I.Y Chat, Tips + Tricks
    FSX_FOOD Food + Cooking Chat
    FSX_GARDENING Gardening Chat
    FSX_ARTS Arts + Artistic Chat

    [snip]

    these echomail areas have been running now for a little over 7 months and I thought it would be a good time to review their success (or otherwise) and seek group feedback as to if any should be removed, adjusted etc.?

    It seems to me the least popular in terms of traffic has been

    DIY
    SPORTS
    GARDENING
    ARTS

    whereas the more popular echos seem to be

    MUSIC
    VIDEO
    RETRO

    the others sit somewhere in the middle.

    Do you think any should be removed? Are any changes to the focus of the echos required? Other stuff I/we should be thinking about?

    I will crosspost this message in FSX_GEN and FSX_NET

    Please direct any feedback/comments to FSX_NET, your feedback is appreciated. :)

    Best, Paul

    Possibility of broadining this to any project done at home, not just building

    SPORTS

    It's New Years resolution season, maybe time for a broadening - not just sport or big ticket spectator sport, but anything related to sport at any level and exercise. I don't follow spectator sport much these days, but OTOH, I am very involved in sport on a personal level! :)

    GARDENING

    I'm actually surprised this one didn't germinate, maybe it needs a bit of replanting and watering (i.e. conversation starter posts)? ;)

    ARTS

    Guess most people in here don't have much of an interest in the arts outside of the more specific (and popular) cases below?).

    whereas the more popular echos seem to be

    MUSIC
    VIDEO
    RETRO

    Definite keepers.



    ... All right, who's been cooking hot dogs in the Warp Drive?

    Hallo Avon,

    thank you for your work and your review of how well the echos are
    running!

    I think that the echos (new and old) do work and if I would have to
    choose, then maybe I only would merge DIY and GARDENING.

    But basically, I'm happy how all this is working :)

    Regards,
    Anna
