In any case, I’m still thinking about doing it. I did install forums at hutski.com but the plan was to keep those pretty limited in scope, and they’re not getting used much at this time.

I see your point, and I realize forums can be al lot of work. Fortunately, the forums I visit are mostly nice and polite. Perhaps I am spoilt. ;)

Yup, they are there in bright red now. And I see both previous and next. Good on ya!

I’ve considered doing a forum, but it still feels “me too,” perhaps even more so.

Also, you’d be surprised how much work is involved in managing a quality forum (I’ve managed a few over the years). The spam defense alone sometimes takes a good chunk out of your week. Then you’ve got the forum bullies. Sometimes you’ll spend hours just dealing with one person who’s hobby is mucking things up. My favorite of those was a guy who really messed us around on the Couloir Forums. After doing research on the guy, I found out he’d faked his own death on another forum and completely dominated the place for weeks, then got outed and thus dominated even more! Crazy, (and time consuming.)

But you guys could convince me is a few of you pushed, and promised to use it!
