Randy, my advise would (and has always been) to not have a TalkBoard.

FlyerTalk was and should remain YOUR personal vision, IMHO. And all in all, with it's few minor flaws, it remains something better than anyone else has come up with. And it can continue to improve and grow just fine without TalkBoard. And probably more efficiently and with less headaches!

Of course you can take advise from any of your members that sends some in to you and which you think is a good idea.

Walt Disney once said, "I don't rely on just my story people for ideas for films, or my Board of Directors for ideas on how to run the company. A good idea is a good idea no matter where it comes from. If the gardner out mowing my lawn has a good idea for a film...I'll use it!"

Committee management in the creative fields have almost always been a disaster. Success in creative fields has almost always been achieved by one strong voice, opinion and vision.

I would recommend you keep it simple. And that would be that if you like a particular idea, go ahead and impliment it. If it turns out everybody hates the idea and you feel you made a mistake, just say, "Oh well, we tried something new and it didn't work." and remove the change.

Please, I would feel much better if you would continue to make the decisions on your own. Take good advise wherever you can get it or whenever you think you need it.

And you don't need an advisory board for that!

Simpler is often better.

IMHO.
