At Crowdgather, we believe in forums. They contain an unparalleled wealth of information and interactions that form community. For the past few years, we have focused on growing our network of forum communities. Since 2008, we have increased our monthly page views from 9 million to 80 million with 4.5 million unique visits a month.
Our emphasis on growth comes from seeing the power of forums. Every day, millions of people discuss topics ranging from electronics to gaming, and look for guidance from other members. Because they are in many ways structured around people supporting each other, forums continue to be the best help desks on the Internet. We believe in cultivating forums because they reflect a quality of community and service that social networking sites have not been able to provide, and that has been steadily disappearing from the web.
Today, Sanjay Sabnani (http://www.jonathanvolk.com/thinktank-interview/interview-sanjay-sabnani.html) announced our acquisition of FreeForums.org. FreeForums.org was founded in 2007 and has established itself as a leader in the free forum hosting industry, providing a dependable forum hosting solution to millions of users around the world.
They provide marvelous service and a customized software solution that meets the needs of their forum members. Mostly, we are glad to have them in our mix because they, too, believe in forums and they have millions of members that would agree.
We are proud to have them join our network!
