[from inSpired] Meet the Community | Introduce yourself

Hehehe. I’m not used to it either!

The other thing that will almost certainly catch me out, is having to remember that I can’t bypass the one-hour edit timer limits over here… Given how useful the ability to bypass that limit is, it’s a hard habit to break and easy to forget about.

I’m likely to have a few ideas and a lot more bugs to share over time though. So it’s probably a good time to make that easier. 

Hi everyone,

I’m Scott and I’m leading our community project at Productboard. I’m a long-time product manager and currently work with our Sales, Success, Marketing, and Product teams supporting our customers helping them organizationally and strategically with Productboard.

We excited to see what we can learn and do with inSided and are looking forward to building our new customer community and getting off Slack. 

Welcome to inSpired @Scott Baldwin ! 

It’s a pleasure to meet you. I’m Blastoise186, a Super User volunteer at my home base and a sort of volunteer helper over here. I’m only a user myself and don’t have moderator rights anywhere, but I’m always happy to provide my own advice based on a user perspective.

We’ll definitely be happy to give you some tips and tricks that can help you learn the ropes. The inSpired Community is an instance of the platform like all the others and it’s got more or less all the built-in features turned on, plus a few others (or at least that’s what I’m told!). Feel free to ask as many questions as you fancy and we’ll do our best to help out.

As another tip, quite a few members here have links to the communities we’re part of in our profiles. Please do feel free to check those out as well, since it might provide some inspiration. Several inSided employees also actively watch over this community, so you’ll no doubt see them very soon as well.

Just watch out for @Julian though! He’s very competitive and doesn’t like to allow anyone to take his spot on the leaderboard! 

Welcome to inSpired, @Scott Baldwin! Happy to see you here. We’ve got quite a number of years in Community Management combined in this place, so you surely found the right spot to prepare for a successful launch of your new community! If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to share them with us.

...and to @Blastoise186: we’ve installed the employee leaderboard for the very reason that I can keep my feud with @daniel.boon within healthy boundaries. ;)

👋  Hi everyone! 

I’ve been lurking in this community for a few months now and have asked a question here and there, but figured it’s as good a time as any to introduce myself.

I’m Adam Ballhaussen, Director of Customer Education at Docebo. We’ll be launching our community to a group of ~120 early adopter customers next Tuesday (April 20th). We are stoked to be a part of the inSided fam and can’t wait to start bringing customers into our community! I look forward to interacting with you all more closely and learning from everyone here.

Don’t be a stranger!

– Adam

Welcome @adam.ballhaussen !

I’m Blastoise186. While I live in the UK which means I’m in a completely different time zone, I do tend to check this community in the evenings as well, meaning I’ll probably catch some of your threads faster.

Definitely let us know if you need any help with anything. If you can also pop the URL of your community into your profile if it ever goes public, it’ll make it easier in case you ever need a hand. :)

Thanks for the welcome @Blastoise186! It’s nice to e-meet you. I’ll be sure to share with this community when we go public. It’s coming up soon! May 17th is the scheduled date at the moment.

Nice! Glad to meet you too.

I’m actually not an inSided customer myself (I’m just a user!), but I have Super User rights at my home base which is listed in my profile and I also like to help out here as a volunteer. I’ve been learning a lot myself, so I’m rapidly picking up on most things even without access to Control. Hopefully you should have Customer rights over here by now, but if that broke somehow, Julian can fix that for you. As long as you can access https://community.insided.com/ideas you should be good to go.

If there’s one big tip that I can definitely give you as well, it’s definitely this. Always listen to your community and make sure not to make yourself look purely like some guy with the banhammer who only ever steps in to ban spammers (that’s a bad image to present!). Getting involved with the community and staying integrated helps a lot, especially when you get to know your members. And trust me, you’ll definitely get to know a few of the regulars! 

Hi everyone! 

Thought it was about time I introduce myself here - I am the new Customer Support Engineer here at inSided (in my 3rd week now - time has really flown). I will be the one handling any questions or issues you might be facing, alongside Tom as well of course.

A little bit about me - I am from the UK but have been based in Amsterdam for about 2 years now. I have a background in psychology, product and web development. In my free time, I enjoy going to gigs, running and helping around on the family farm.

I can’t wait to work with you all and support you in making amazing communities. 

Heya @olimarrio or is it @olimarrio ? You seemed to have mastered the art of cloning yourself!

As you’ve probably heard, I’m a bit of a rebel around these parts and I can’t promise that you won’t fall subject to one of my pranks sooner or later… Hehehe. Some say that the only person able to keep this SkyNet Blastoise under control is @timcavey , and that even the legendary @Julian doesn’t know my true power. All we know is, I’m also called Blaster. :P
