Future of the forum

:slm:
I just wanted to come on sisters, to say I'm sorry I havn't been contributing to the forum since a few months due to my pregnancy then the birth of my daughter and the complex issue of why the connection in ALgeria doesn't work well.
I'm not sure where the forum is goes, as most sisters are more on Facebook then any forum, including this one. Also from the start we were a new forum, so we didn't have much posters on from the start. But now it seems Facebook is the way to go. I'm trying when I can to contribute to Facebook where I can, but my duties to my family come first. While machallah we had Anisa helping us out in the beginning she too has her duties so she has stepped down, we have still Emma ... I don't have endless hours to sit here too, but as the forum is really quite ... I donnow if we should stop or continue with it? Any ideas sisters? Dzjk Allah kheirn!

Assalaamu alaikum

Whatever you do Henia, please don't delete the forum! You have put so much hard work into it and have a wealth of information here which is beautifully organised! There are things I refer back to. :)

I also don't think you should delete the forum... maybe the problems are...lack of traffic and lack of active moderators.. In fixing those problems i'm pretty sure the forum would be busier inshallah...

I agree with Nicola that there's too much useful info on here and too much of your own hard work has gone into it already to just let it go...

Esalaamu aleikoum
Dzjk Allah kheirn sisters, Well I pop in and out mostly Facebook when I have free minute not with my children or studying.
Enchallah I guess you are right there alot of work put in all contributing members to just delete, so enchallah I'll leave it and maybe continue if I can to reference the topics already on here on FB and work on the derdja lessons.

Assalaamu alaikum,

As I've said before and as the sisters have written here, it would be such a shame to delete the forum as it contains such a wealth of information masha'Allah.
I don't think the lack of participation is in anyway due to lack of effort on your part sis I just think forums in general are not 'busy' in the way that they used to be and I guess that is due partly to the popularity of facebook. I mean this forum's fb group is way busier than the forum and has members who are not even members here.

In my opinion one real benefit of the forum is that posts can be very detailed which just isn't possible on fb so, I think your suggestion of writing here and referencing to it there is an excellent one

Thank you so much for everything that you've done and are doing xxx

deleting forum??!!! NO!!!!
Forum is excellent and as others said, u put so much effort to create this lovely and informative forum, which i s great place for gaining knowledge on Algeria, Algerian language, lifestyle, people, food, culture, country itself! Please keep it, don't delete it :-)

salam
i totally agree with the sisters don't delete this forum sister henia, after all the hard work you put into it.

Assalam alaikum,

leave it sister as it is, and come back again some day, even if we have to wait untill we all become grannies and have some spare time .

take care,

um Safiya
