The best ideas come from your community

We sometimes witness our community members coming up with their own ideas and taking action based on them. And, as expected, some of these ideas turn out to be successful, while others fall short.

Based on our experience, we can confidently say that more often than not, the community's ideas tend to work out. In fact, their success rate is usually higher than when we, as admins, come up with ideas.

The rationale behind this is straightforward:

When we propose an idea, we are essentially taking an informed guess at what our community members desire. On the other hand, when our community members themselves come up with an idea, they are essentially communicating exactly what they need and want.

Thus, it would be unwise to disregard their ideas since doing so would be at our own risk.

What are some successful ideas and suggestions made by your members that you have implemented on your forum?
