I have decided to build a new website to try to fill a gap that I see in the Computer business forums online. I have been an active participant in several computer business related forums, from Yahoogroups computerbusiness / computertechpros / SMBManagedServices to Technibble and PCBiz.org. I find that I am participating less in these forums, not because I don’t want to help, but rather I am tired of seeing the same questions over and over from new participants.

PCBiz.org brought a unique feature to the table that I like…a secure area where established business owners can discuss business issues without customers/end users seeing the posts. An added benefit of this structure is that it virtually eliminated the basic questions like “how do I form a LLC” and “do I have to collect sales tax”. Instead the members there are able to discuss the meat and potatoes of running businesses like having a frank discussion about our vendors, openly discussing margins and revenue producing ideas.

Unfortunately, PCBiz.org has been dying. The moderators rarely visit and the side effect of having such a restrictive setup is that it is hard to get new blood into the site. So, I have created a new site with a mixed structure based on an SMF Forum with several modules added in. Visit www.pcbusinessguide.com. I have decided to form a public area for technical issues and starting a business. then, I have an area for Verified Business Owners, for businesses that have been in operation for at least 6 months. I hope this will have the benefits of PCBiz.org without the pitfalls of such a restrictive membership.
