My name is Jeremy Luebke and I am in charge of partnership relations for http://www.wdforums.com. We are currently seeking out a few select web hosting sites to form a co-branded forum partnership with. As you can see from the link posted in the first sentence, we run a non-profit forum dedicated to web designers and developers. We officially launched less than a month ago and as you can see we are growing exponentially.

What we are offering you is a chance to increase your advertising inventory while providing your site with the stickiness only a web site with a very active forum can have. This is a great opportunity for web hosts to add value to their service while enforcing their brand. This is not meant to replace a support forum, instead it is meant to help out your customers with questions not covered by your support obligations, but at the same time keeping your brand in their mind. For an example of what we can offer you please visit these two sites.
http://www.sitegoodies.tv
http://www.businessportalforums.com

As you can see, these sites contain the exact same content/posts as WDForums.com. Everything down to the last graphic and color scheme is customizable to your design and liking. So the site would have your design, advertising, and contact info with no links anywhere leading to WDForums and this is at no bandwidth cost to you since the forums are hosted on our server.

The hardest part about building a community from scratch is to get dedicated moderators and members to answer questions. People are for the most part followers and not leaders so if they visit a forum that is not already active, the chance of them joining and participating is slim. We solve that problem for you.

This is just a short overview of the offer. If you are interested, please contact me at admin@wdforums.com so we can discuss it further. I look forward to hearing from you.

Thanks
Jeremy Luebke
