[Coco] A New CoCo Forum, just what we need?

[Steve Bamford]

I like the idea Steve. :)

Currently I'm a member of the Dragon forum, Dragon FB group, CoCo mailing list and CoCo FB group. Posting project updates to four separate entities doesn't appeal to me so I tend not to do it. The Dragon forum is very effective but the foot-fall is low due to the limited size of the active Dragon community.
I'd welcome a new forum bringing together CoCo, TRS-80, Dragon and other related users under one roof, especially if there was a section for new game development projects so that I could get to know other kindred spirits. :)
Will check out the link later on.
Steve.

So the question has come up, a few times recently, about the "Ease of use"
factor (hard sarcasm intended) on how it's not easy to find topics in the
Facebook group.

And yes, this list can be searched, and this list does a decent job of
threading conversations, although I've seen them break, so, do we need a
CoCo Forum?

Would anybody use it?

Is this, like so many other things, a waste of time, and one more thing to
divide and distract the community?

I don't know, but on a whim, we've set one up, and we'll test "If you build
it, they will come" and see what happens.

I think there is potential, but like anything, it needs to be promoted and
supported.

Please try our forum and let us know what you think, http://retrofanatic.com
if this is something worth doing and keeping, then we'll do it.
