This Forum has not been set up to be a rival, or to compete, with any other fans forum, that may be on the net.
I simply was a member of another forum, that I felt had changed in such a way, that I no longer enjoyed using it. This was mainly down to how the site was now being run.
My comment and concerns were not wanted and the bottom line was, I was told if you don’t like it, go somewhere else.
This forum was only set up to be that somewhere else, as I believed many others felt the same way as I did. Time will tell if I was right or wrong.
For this forum to succeed it needs to have members and those members need to contribute to the forum. Without the members posting, there would be no forum.
In three months time this forum could be a busy, good and well run forum, or it could be a total flop. I have never set up and run a forum before, but I’m happy that I got it up and running. I’m learning and I will make mistakes, I will also learn from them.
If after some time the forum has failed, I would be disappointed, but I believe its better to have tried and failed, than not to have tried at all. At least I would have know that I gave it my best shot.
Part one was to set this forum up, I have done that,
part two is to try and get many more members. Please feel free to spread the word that we are here.
Part three is for me, is to listen to the members and try and run the forum, in the way I believe they would all want it run.
Thank you for taking the time to read this.
Dave R

No not really Andy, lets just say that I just wanted to explain why I set this forum up. If any contact was ever made from the other side, it would not bother me, I hope the is will become a forum in its own right. |

I'm on board... I have had postings altered, deleted and all sorts of other stuff going on because I didn't subscribe to the collective ethos of dotnet and pander to their collective egos....IMHO the site has gone down the pan since mervo handed over...

As a regular reader of .net (although only an occasional poster) I have only discovered this alternative tonight and it's great to see so many 'familiar faces' and interesting comments and debate. Well done Dave and I will certainly be coming here first in future and will try to contribute a bit more often.

Many thanks for your kind words, this has not been set up to compete with any other forum, but to give those that want it, that place I call somewhere else. All the best Dave R |
