Perhaps - but in reality it is just the next step in forum design,
applying lessons learned from the past - it is also a design with a very
focused purpose - support.

When this type of site was advanced by Alex I was rather skeptical but I
put a lot of time into researching how they where working out on other
projects - they are not a magic bullet, meaning that they can fail to
thrive just as any other site might.. but they also offer a lot of good
results when there is an active group of knowledgeable responders to
users questions present.

So - this is _not_ a discussion board, nor is it a social site. Of those
sites I surveyed, which where flourishing, this distinction is actively
enforced when necessary.

well, to be clear - I did nothing on this, it is all Alex's work!

Best wishes,
