First, there weren't enough roofing forums, now there are a lot.

Which one should we choose?

I love this forum's set up (identical to ContractorTalk set-up).
It's super easy to use, to retrieve messages, load pics, etc...

So, what's the consensus guys?

Should we pick at least "one" site that we call home?

If so, which one?

Why limit the knowledge?

I get the most of marketing and sales from ContractorTalk and I like the familiarity over at NRGforums and know for sure that Chris will expand the offerings available.

The Roofers Coffee shop goes up and down, but has a good core group, but way too much hypocrisy on certain subjects, but has some very insightful members and Roofing.Com is great for the most miniscule topics that home owners and rookies need answers to.

I also like the Roofing Section on DIYchatroom.com to help out the home owners, so that they at least select someone with proper qualifications.

im with Ed,there seems to be enough content to keep alot of forums going

[Slyfox]

I have an account with more forums than I can remember,
including the ones Ed mentioned.
The only ones I have ever posted in more than once or twice has been those affiliated with ContractorTalk 'CT - DIY - RF' and the NRG.

I come into all four of the above mentioned every morning before work and every evening after work, I don't always post, but always take time to read through.
I am constantly learning / re-learning things in these forums.

Just speaking for myself here, but if every forum out there bellied up over night, I wouldn't miss a click so long as CT and NRG survived.

Slyfox and all the other members, im sure youd be welcome at the Contractors Club,lots of great people there

Same as Sly. Wasn't too welcome at CC. Haven't been in a while, but don't miss it any.

[Grumpy]

I bounce around between nrg and this one. I never liked the quality of roofing.com and haven't been to the rcs in years. Does anyone even talk about roofing ther? I closed my forum a year or two ago.


I go to ALOT of remodeling, construction & DIY forums and post occassionally just to keep my websites getting back links and exposure to customers. I do get customers from some of my posts in the various forums.

I Use here, contractor talk and a U.K site called diynot.com which is a mixture of home owners and contrators.
Cheers

I feel exactly the same way Ed.
And that's the point of my thread.
A lot of good info and different experiences,
but spread out over various forums.

If it were all in one place, it'd be so much easier.

It's not about elminating the other's,
but about having one centralized forum where everybody congregates.

There are definitely "communities" and that'll never be changed,
but I was hoping to try to set something like a "home base" for those roofers who post on forums a lot.

I'm lazy.

I just want to log into one spot and then go and "drop by" the other spots.

However, it would be way cool if all my friends were in one spot too.

Look at that...I'm trying to reel them in and you are throwing new forums into the batch!



(Ok, now let me go check out CC's forum! )
