Community, by nature, isn't something that can be forced. It's something you can help cultivate and grow, but like a flower, It has to do the growing on its own.
I'm wondering if you know what exactly about idea of "community" is the owner against, and what do they want instead? What is the owners' goals and motivations? I suspect that will provide a much better answer than any alternatives to community. -Alex -- /ah indyhall.org coworking in philadelphia Got Community? http://masterclass.indyhall.org On Jan 2, 2013, at 7:25 PM, Marie <christine.bhat...@thirdworkplace.com> wrote: > I know that the key to user growth is community but I often come across a > problem where the owner doesn't want to force community on our members.
