Staff Forums

[Nebulous]

What kinds of things are said in your super secret staff forums?

Do you use this space to solely talk business? Chit chat with the staff? Gossip? All of the above?

On OT its mostly for chit-chat but we do utilize it for official business, brainstorming or how to deal with a problem member.

I think they are beneficial even if you only have one staff member. If you're just PM'ing each other about board issues and problem members that can get messy and unorganized. Better to keep it all in a specific forum.

At Bizdustry we have the business side of staff forums and also an off-topic forum for staff.

ON the forums I own, there is no staff section. My forums are small and there is no need for a staff section. However, on the forums where I am staff, staff forums are used for discussing forum related things as well as chitchats.

I see the staff forum as a place where the staff should be themselves. Tell us about your day, what you are doing and the challenges that you are facing. When I am working on a staff, I see it as a family and we all should ensure that we are talking about a lot and maybe a little bit of gossiping on the staff forum as well.
