This forum is for discussion and mutual help between authors, publishers and self-publishers of lulu.com. It is independent of Lulu Press Inc.This is a forum where authors who publish their own books can exchange information and help each other. Writers, illustrators meet here. They publish their books through a print on demand service like lulu.com or this one.
When Lulu Press Inc. changed to read only the 2010-2019-Forum on January, 1st 2020, the community outsourced the forum. Later it opened the focus on print on demand in general, including, but not only Lulu.

It is independent of Lulu Press Inc.This is a forum where authors who publish their own books can exchange information and help each other. Writers, illustrators meet here.

When Lulu Press Inc. changed to read only the 2010-2019-Forum on January, 1st 2020,
Is that still relevant to this particular forum?
the community outsourced the forum.
Ditto.
Later it opened the focus on print on demand in general, including, but not only Lulu.
Does that need to be mentioned at all? It is now a site with general SP help, and has been for a while now. To be honest there's not really many people in this forum who have yet used the new Lulu set up. Those who have looked at it, hate it!
2010-2019: The good old time
You may visit the original Lulu forums from 2010-2019 at web.archive.org/web/*/https://connect.lulu.com/en/Some time ago, pre-Paul, I suggested (oh the days of being able to PM Lulu staff!) they started to remove all the old posts and threads as no longer giving the right advice (Lulu has changed their set up and options over the years a bit at a time, evolving). That was set in motion until I told them that those who get e-mail notifications of any action on the forums were getting 1000s of emails a day! There seemed to be no way of bulk removing stuff and/or with no notification, so they simple stopped deleting stuff. So all the old stuff is still there and even less relevant now! I have no idea why Lulu did not totally cancel the 3rd party forum place they used and get rid of those archives totally.

I wonder how many publishers from 2004 are still around.

Oh, yeah. Wouldn't that be an interesting statistic! I'd be interested in knowing the difference between March, 2020 and November, 2020 too.

Looking at the Members list there’s only a few of the Pioneers.
I’ve only spotted Ron and Kevin.

If we are talking about lulu forum I've been here for awhile now. Not this one but the original. Been at lulu for six years now I think.

I plan to go to Spain for the Santiago de Compostela walk. I would find him and take him out for a beer, and I would just stare at him and be nice. That way he would realize I'm a real person ( whose life he made a living hell). Whatever. That L word that ends in r keeps lurking in my mind but I've had so much bad health luck lately that I dare not be nasty anymore. Seesh. |
