getting it right
What are some successful collaborative sites?
I think the main reason The Knowledge Loom has stagnated is because it is not being supported. There does not seem to be anyone adding new content, or following up on any of the early topic discussions. But also, as I mentioned in the "ae-content" posting commentary, it suffers from technical limitations that make it frustratingly slow to access. I believe the awkwardness of the interface prevented a viable community from forming in the first place.
So, who's getting it right and why? Add your finds and lets discuss how successful communities can scale to meet the demands of their members.

The Syllabus Magazine Discussion Forum is new, and thus not too populated with posts or users yet, but runs on a modern BB script. What do you think of this type of BB for AE-Content's discussion board?

I like this kind of system -- easy to read which
is really important when content starts flowing.
The seperation of topics by a graphic or color
helps so much to find what you are looking for.
For me, it is very easy to read which is the BIG plus.
