Bc2000 (for the BCF2000 & BCR2000)

there are a lot of alternatives, a forum would be the best in my opinion, it's the most logical way to exchange. i'm sorry to have posted this topic, and when i try to delete it it simply says the group "bc2000" is not available. damn yahoo, get your shit together

I feel this group can come much more alive -as there is such a big (and younger) userbase of BCR/BCF users that I see lurking around on other generic music sites which lack the profound knowledge that I see displayed in this group.

Personally (and I work in ICT) I know no one who uses Yahoo. Same goes for the musicians I know.
