That was the first place I ever started posting. You wrote me an email saying something to the effect of: "We just opened our forums. You should start posting there." So I did. When it shut down, for some reason I didn't follow everyone over to RS and I simply went back to lurking. Honestly, it's probably for the best that all my old posts are now gone though. I remember saying some pretty stupid things. :- ) Tommy Garveyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10758946690545108144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7348707835191843632.post-28096821310113341632014-09-27T19:40:48.832-07:002014-09-27T19:40:48.832-07:00John Wooten and I came up with the forum idea duri...John Wooten and I came up with the forum idea during a late-night IM discussion about how we could make the Archive more interactive, more web 2.0-ish. John found the free software online. For a while it was great. But then the owners of the software imposed all of these awful pop-ups. Every time you clicked on something there was a pop-up. To make them go away you had to pay. No way were we gonna do THAT. I think that's what ultimately led to the forum's demise. That an the popularity of RS. Wish we'd been able to save all the discussion on there.Ronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01177866048830930670noreply@blogger.com
