It's good to know we are getting talked about...
our ears were burning over hereWe've invited all and we welcome all, including owners of all forums (some have joined too - a class act that they did too we might add). It was started by (and moderated by)
Matt, Charlie and me, we're looking to add another couple of mods from different timezones/countries. Similarly there is no one owner, it is all agree or none agree.
The site itself is run using proprietary software (Vanilla) on (their) hosted server - it's got a lot of features that are different
including being able to import old/other forums posts and merge them into ours. We're still learning it, we've gone with a design that is different yet fairly easy to use, pretty to look at and very easy easy to sign on to compared to the others (no approval process). We've made some rules, we've kept them simple.
This is not a battle of the forums, no one has a grudge against anyone, so no one should think that straight away, we're going to see how it goes, we'll have a play and have some fun with it, the software allows us to run it slightly differently from ALL the others that are out there which in itself is a point of difference - we do have mods however the software also allows for some degree of member management too, we'll see how that goes. We ain't kidding ourselves, as has been said before "understanding some people is like smelling the colour 9" but what hey, we already knew that before we started
Whether the world needs another movie poster forum who knows, we'll find out...if it doesn't need one now then I don't see what waiting for later will do.
If it survives then great, if it doesn't we're going to go down enjoying ourselves.
