I hope I'm not stepping on anyone's toes here, but I have a hard-time following
along in the web-based chat because I'm used to Bulletin Board style posting.
I have a new forum I just took online recently and was wondering would there
be interest to holding a forum over there that's a little easier to navigate
and follow the threads? Here is the forum:
http://www.audioandmidi.com/phpBB2/index.php
If you're interested, I could create a dedicated section for Paris.

Brad,
Traditionally the issue has been that there are a lot of people here who
use the NNTP feature, and virtually none of these web forum based systems
allow NNTP. I have done a little surfing and if you want both it's pretty
hard to find something.
Also, if you're having trouble following threads, try pressing the "Related
items" button. This will narrow what's on screen to just items within your
current thread.
It is also actually possible for me to put this forum into a format more
similar to "normal" web forums, where all posts of a thread appear in a single
thread, however while it might simplify things, it's actually less functional
to my mind as you can't visually see who has replied to who (unless they
include a quote). Hence I've kept it as it is. I find the "related items"
works pretty well however in sorting out a complex thread.
JustCron had a web forum running for a while starting around the time Chuck
handed over the group. It never really kicked off. Too many people like the
NNTP feature.
Cheers,
Kim.

Nothing personal Brad, but why does my suspicion radar go off when a sales
guy from Sweetwater wants to host a newsgroup for a dying platform, even
if he was a user before...

Because it's your suspicion and not the reason I posted the thought.... I've
thought about this for years, actually. I figured since I checked in, I
might as well offer not knowing what the response would be. But then as
I think about it, it would be like the kids coming back from college only
to find you've moved away...."where'd everyone go?" :-)
