Content Strategies & Copywriting Forum

by Marvin Johnston
5 replies
Is the intent on the change from Copywriting Forum to the Content Strategies & Copywriting Forum a thinly disguised war on the Copywriting forum and the many real copywriters that have inhabited it for so long?

Read this if you haven't already (along with other such topics in the forum):

Copywriting is NOT content writing.

    I don't understand that move. Content strategy? Who'd start to build any website without one?

    But copywriting is a completely separate discipline, with little or no crossover.

      A better approach many have been requesting for years now would have been to simply split up dedicated subforums for content and copywriting.

      No one asked.

      404'ing years of indexed posts overnight is certainly a "content strategy" although I can't imagine how one would consider it a useful or profitable one.

      So it goes.

    Fear? LOL

    Your alpha posturing makes it nearly impossible to have a reasonable discussion with you.

    If Matt wants to discuss it, I'm easy to find.

    Hello Everyone

    Matt here. First off, apologies for inadvertently screwing up the name of this forum. As Alaister said, we made a number of design changes to clear up the forum generally, remove clutter and bring it a few years forward from 1997 in aesthetics! As part of these we cleaned up some of the forum names, fixed grammatical and spelling error etc. We got a bit carried away and edited this forum name in the mistaken belief that a lot of the discussion would be around content strategy given that Warrior is first and foremost a marketing forum- and how wrong we were! Thanks for bringing this error to our attention so quickly, we've changed it back. Sorry for any heartburn this might have caused.

    Regards
    Matt

    PS: Greg Windsor has no association with Freelancer, we've never heard of him. I think he was having a go winding a few people up.
