Many non-members do know, many don't. NO non-members would get third hour. And many members wouldn't get it.
pam Posted October 9, 2018 Author Report Posted October 9, 2018 The majority of searches I've seen have been on key words. And many of those searches have brought them to the forum. Not necessarily searching Mormon. NeuroTypical 1

One benefit to having third hour being the name, I will admit, is that the community will remain rather small. I have an account in Mormon Dialogue, but I feel they get to page 4 within 2 hours of posting a new thread. It dissuades me from participating.

Guest Posted October 9, 2018 Report Posted October 9, 2018 I'm going to make a prediction that goes against my better judgement. I'll predict that this new forum name will be slow at first. But if we stick with it (longer than we did with mormonhub) the site membership and the number of active participants will grow to a level that will be difficult to manage.

Oooooh, not difficult for them to manage us, difficult for us to manage the volume of posts we have to derail, doctrinally correct, and otherwise make snarky and sagacious comments in. Got it! You're right, as usual. We should probably plan now for how to chase people off when there get to be too many. And the software developers need to hurry up and implement my request to enable us to "ignore" both individual threads and entire subforums.
