I'd very much like this to be an unbiased forum for the members where we can talk about anything balloon related.
So what topics would you like to have?
The Interview a guest seems a good idea & how about trying to put the balloon pictures & talk into sections, basic , int and advance.
The problem here is who decides what goes where.
Anyway all sensible suggestions are welcome.

That interview idea is good!

I don't know if its possible - but maybe a "model of the week" section would be good where you or a guest twister posts instructions for a new model each week. I don't know if people would be willing to do that but it would be something different and would certainly encourage people to participate in the forum!

I think it would be a shame to segregate twisters skill level as I would put myself as Beginner/ int and wouldn't know what 1 to put me in plus you could end up with a confutation from others. also would take a lot of work to police.
I think start of with the basics like photos of models, a fun competition, product review, instructions and business maybe even decor/weaving just to get things started then move or rename as needed, it's going to have some teething problems what ever you do.
Thank you for starting the interviews :)

I like the idea of a model of the month - it helps to share ideas and new twists (twists .... geddit eh didya???  :lol:   ahem!) on even basic models  - we all have a favourite model that works well and that our punters love,
C\'mon Let\'s twist again...

I think "model of the month" is much better, easier to commit to, easier for people to keep up and also i think it would keep people interested if they new that on a certain day each month they would learn a new model!

Yep model of the month sounds good to me as well.
Will get a few others to contribute to this as well so that we could all learn a new model.
We could also have a seperate model of the month with no picture to start with just a word
& we all make a variation of the same thing, perhaps we could start with say a bird & we all make our own version,
could be a good learning curve?
