I understand that you may want to have access to address and phone numbers, ok but thats like 10 people on the team, a cell phone can handle that. Forums ok, but even then is there really that much inter team communication that a forum on every site is necessary. I've been having this argument with my team captain for the past 2 years, our team is a maximum of 10 people a couple of which actually work, I do not see the reason of wasting time and resources on coding interfaces with a database so that 5 people can post messages. Is it not more direct to just instant message a person, those get my attention faster than a forum on my website.
By the way its not a distraction, on other sites i have actually designed the page around some really cool text inputs I designed. I like the way they look.
I've been ripping on you guys a bit, feel free to rip my site to shreds if you'd like.
