Largely UK/Europe based, but it does have contributors from all over the world. I've only been on it for a few weeks but am really glad i found it! I've printed off this article and stuck it to my wall, there's some great advice here. Check out e-mint too, a great email list on yahoo groups for community managers.

It's a good place to vent with like-minded community managers. Tell Patrick I sent you. Oh, and Dorien, I know about the creating monsters with all of that acknowledgment. It is certainly something to keep in mind when doling out the compliments. Everything in moderation. Many thanks to Paul for seeking my input on a topic that is dear to my heart.

Having been the community manager of the citizen journalism project HasseltLokaal in Belgium, I have also experienced that it is very important to find a balance in acknowledging somebody's work. In the beginning I sometimes pampered the citizen reporters too much. Which made the egos of some grow so much that they felt better than other citizen reporters. In other words: I find it ok and necessary to acknowledgde people's efforts but it's important to not exaggerate. Interesting and true.

Can Angela (or anyone else) recommend "a message board for community managers" for the next time I need to vent. All good advice.
