One more thought for today: HubPages already has topical forums for almost every subject. Is it possible to move the associated forums over to the niche sites as they are created?
A niche site on a specific topic would be wise to have a forum attached to it, no? Forums attract recurring readers and participants, many of whom will also read Hubs. Hubbers who write on those topics can participate in the forums offering advice and interacting with visitors. Many people will join the sites just to participate in the forums and never even write a Hub. Little communities will develop. Fresh content daily. More search traffic. Etc.
Maybe this is something planned for the future but I thought it worth mentioning. It would be really nice if the HP topic forums were actually useful for people who aren't into political and religious ranting.

I don't appreciated them...Is there any way this can be avoided? I really think it's a way to get attention to the hubs. Most of the threads are so that people go click to find the hubs that have pictures related to that thread.

The religious forums for the most part are highly contentious and not for the faint of heart and sensitive of disposition. Only those who are strong mentally can and do surivive, even thrive. The rest of us mortals find it BEST to avoid such contention and argument. Name...

Now that the niche sites are up and running, wouldn't it be a good idea to add a "Forum" menu item on each site to link to the relevant topic forums on HubPages? (maybe there is a link already, but I can't find it).

..which has been an interesting discovery for me. They have interesting content and perspectives. But they seldom come upfront. What are your thoughts. No, not yours. I'm asking the interesting people!
