As my first foray into blogging takes hold, I wanted to introduce you all to what started all of this. As a network engineer that desgned and installed Mitel phone systems I found it quite disheartening how little information seemed to be available on the internet about these system. One night on a whim I registered the domain and http://www.mitelforums.com was born. It more or less sat there, very little traffic or interest.
Then after not checking in for a couple of months – low and behold – 30 or 40 new posts with discussions and conversations going on. And it was good, pertinent information to boot! Mitel Forums was taking off – as a discussion by techies, for techies. I couldn’t believe it. After that, I started checking in at least daily and jumping into the conversations myself. Good, helpful information was being exchanged.
Things ran along like that for a couple of years – ups and downs in traffic, minor spammer issues, all the fun of running a small forum. Life is good – and thanks to the really smart people posting there, I consider Mitel Forums a resounding success.
