Managing Online Forums

My friend Patrick, whom you probably know from phpBBHacks.com, just announced the launch of his latest project, ManagingCommunities.com.

The site targets anyone who runs an online community, though I think anyone who has to manage users would benefit from subscribing. But perhaps the most important part of Patrick’s announcement is the release of his book, Managing Online Forums: Everything You Need to Know to Create and Run Successful Community Discussion Boards. The book is due out in April but I can tell you know it’s well worth reading. I was happy when Patrick asked me to read some early chapters and then eventually a couple of early versions and final drafts. He also asked me to write the Foreword for the book, which I was honored to do.

So help Patrick out, go pre-order the book. It’s listed at $24.95, but amazon has it on sale for $16.32 plus another 5% of you pre-order. Grab it Managing Online Forums now.
