Thanks for everyone’s patience.
We have decided to launch a very basic version of the forum and then add features every 1-2 days to avoid any crashes or bugs.
You can check out the new forum here: https://wire.io-fund.com
We’d like one more day to import the data from the old forum. We plan to start posting on Thursday, June 24th so please use Tribe for one more day.
As you’ll see, we are calling this a Wire rather than a Forum as we have begun to rely on the transmission of information on the community site. I find myself not wanting to miss out on the information posted on the forum and we think the word Wire best represents the critical and professional nature of the community.
Some bullet points:
- Downvote and Upvote is enabled. Similar to Reddit or HackerNews, the forum will be organized by which posts are the most popular.
- We are launching with “Trending” but plan to add “Most Recent” and “Most Popular” for sorting the posts. You will be able to quickly click through these three ways to sort the posts.
- Bookmarks are enabled right now so if you like a post and want to save it for later, you can hit the upper right tab and it will save to your bookmarks.
- You’ll be gaining points as you post. We will call this “equity” rather than “karma.” The benefit of this is that those who are down voted will see the effects of posting against our Forum Guidelines. On that note, the Forum Guidelines were written with the group in mind and after getting quality feedback from our members.
- Formal moderation is coming soon. If the flag button is hit enough times by enough members, then the post will be removed until it can be moderated by our team.
- I/O Fund Activity and Stock Setups in the menu will allow you to reference I/O Fund posts quickly. Knox’s trade setups will be going in the right hand where it says RECENT TRADE NOTIFICATIONS. These will automatically post when you get the SMS/email notification and will remain on the right side as you scroll through other posts.
- You’ll see a placeholder for Crypto. The plan is to allow subscribers to either opt-in or opt-out of crypto posts so you have a choice as to whether you see those or not. This will go live in the next 1-2 weeks.
- Slack and Mailchimp APIs are coming in the next 1-2 weeks to help you set alerts. For instance, you can get a weekly email of the top-ranking posts.
- The New Members tab will be a separate space for New Members to voice questions. This will hopefully alleviate the influx of posts we get on the main feed.
- You will have the ability to DM each other in the next couple of weeks.
Thanks again for your unwavering patience on this!
