The Vintage Computer Forum has been around for several months and it appears to have been well received. There are lots of posts, lots of registered members and a number of interesting discussions.
Why, then, am I asking if the forums are useful?
Perhaps it was just wishful thinking, but I had anticipated an upward trend in discussions on the boards. I assumed that as more people found the community that more potential topics for discussion would arise and that these discussions would take place.
I’m not sure if it’s just that we haven’t hit the “critical mass” we need to get more active discussions going or if the boards are too fragmented to support these discussions. It may even be that the board software isn’t conducive to the interchange I had hoped for or maybe that everyone is away on summer vacation.
In any case, I’m asking you for your opinion. Are these boards useful to the Vintage Computer community? If they are or if they aren’t, what would make them more useful?
Please feel free to reply via email or on the thread I created along with this email.
Thank you,
Erik
