So do we have an army of volunteer community managers? Are some active? I did not receive any enquiry. Did anyone else?

I have certainly heard of a few success storied, maybe we should make another topic to track that … @nathank maybe kick off a “success story” topic?

I’m not sure I can claim a full success - our site ([healthforum.nz](http://healthforum.nz)) exploded numbers-wise for a while and had great discussions, but then hit the skids as people stopped wanting to talk about COVID-19 any more. We are currently working on re-inventing it for the long term as a flexible multi-disciplinary national (all health related) platform for discussion and collaboration.
It was actually really hard to find community managers who understand both our local culture and our health peculiarities particularly with privacy; we really need to find community managers from our own. That has meant training them up, which is a very slow and laborious process. @pacharanero was a co-conspirator and amazingly supportive, @angus has been invaluable, and @HAWK and @Rhidian have given great advice. And the whole [@staff](https://meta.discourse.org/groups/staff) here have given us special attention, which has been really appreciated.

Would like to say a big thank you to Sam Saffron for starting this thread and of course the team at Discourse, this entire community but especially those who specifically offered their assistance.
And for encouragement, support and wishes to Nathan and [Profile - InspektorCluzo - Discourse Meta](https://meta.discourse.org/u/InspektorCluzo)
One person in particular deserves thanks and I hope they don’t mind me posting this:

A bit about our experience here - maybe of some use.

I would be willing to donate my time, as well. I am a long-experienced community manager, but utterly new to Discourse, so I would be learning along with anyone I was helping (which seems as good a way to learn this as any, and better than many). I’m in the Boston, MA area, in the US.

Thanks so much to everyone that participated in this topic. It is truly heartwarming to see.
It has served its purpose now so we are going to close it off.
Stay safe out there everyone.
