As our weather in England is changing from Winter to Spring, I have been reflecting on many things, myself, my family and Weavolution. The Groups versus Forums question comes up every so often. As we're all likely doing some mental Spring Cleaning, I thought we might have a "coffee talk" about Groups versus Forums.
My initial thoughts are simple. Forums are there to discuss the big ideas, Weaving, Chatting, Site News, etc. Groups are there for those more specific interests, particular looms, structures, techniques, etc. Lately I've been using the Drawloom, Double Harness and Taquete groups to ask questions about using my drawloom attachment and weaving taquete. I have received wonderful information and offers of help with my journey. The groups have allowed me to tap into a very specific knowledge base.
Please share your thoughts on groups versus forums and how you use each.
Cheers,
Erica
