Re: New community challenge! We chose Instagram simply because it makes it easier to share multiple projects at once and to connect more directly with users through private conversations. But we want to be very clear: this is not a commercial decision. In fact, we’re only promoting the challenge here on the forum — not through ads or paid campaigns. @SpaceMushroomsIt doesn't matter if this was a commercial decision or not, choosing Instagram to reach new users is probably a good choice, nothing wrong with there also being a commercial reason. But... the forum is where everything concerning Sweet Home 3D happens. It's a huge knowledgebase and THE single point for support. Support that is currently carried by members until you are more familiar with the software. New users need that support because every new software program has its own intricacies when you start using it. My personal opinion is that it would be better to have the challenge here on the forum and showcase renderings on Instagram with a link to the forum. That way new users can also see the huge support that is available. Browsing through the topics they get to see much more than only the renderings of the challenge. It also avoids splitting groups of users over separate locations. It's only a matter of time before you will get questions on Instagram, questions that you really want on this forum because most answers will probably be here already. But that is not the only advantage of the forum over social media. Instagram is blocked in multiple countries, meaning that you miss those users by default. The forum -as far as I know- is not blocked anywhere. And of course there is that growing group that avoids social media anyway, some of the members in that group are very experienced and could really showcase what is possible with Sweet Home 3D. As I wrote in another post, I like the idea. But don't underestimate the power of this wonderful and friendly forum that Emmanuel Puybaret created. Its virtually half the value of Sweet Home 3D. There are very few forums where questions are answered so fast and elaborate as here. ...share multiple projects at once... Happens all the time on this forum....connect more directly with users through private conversations... Private Messages can do that....getting to know the community better... Browse this forum!Last but not least: By using the forum YOU keep control over the content, not some third party that can change the rules on a whim or simply disappears. ---------------------------------------- Dodecagon.nl 1300+ 3D models, manuals, and projects |
