Unless Elektron takes the forum in house, I feel that, with no disrespect to any other forums, that yahoogroups has the inertia of continuity and solidness. I can't see it going away otherwise even there are two or three other forums. Let there be a few and may the best one win over time, features, feel and ultimately, membership rather than votes and, or arbitrary decisions, unless Elektron decides to do that. Even then, anyone can have a forum for anything if they want to.

  What? We have 2 forums now? I get a feeling that you and scott were
  first one to start work and now this one is done by someone else (who
  may have 'got the idea from you guys'. If this is the case, then I say
  it's really a bad move from devilfish.

  I've been posting here in yahoo-groups for some time and I've cheched
  the new blue forum. To it's clear that there can be only one forum
  (the other one must go) and yahoo-groups should be closed after people
  have decided which forum will be the forum. So, one place to rule them
  all.

  Elektron should also support this decision by informing people of it
  via elektron friend-newsletter and providing a link to new forum.

  So what we need now is a practical and rational conversation of the
  forum options (I think it should be done here, not in any forum yet).
  For a start it would be nice to see what Scott and other people have
  created, so we can see how it looks like (and more importantly what
  can it do. Contests-submissions? Faqs? so on).

  I think forum is the way, yahoo-group can die. I would want to see
  options. If Scott's forum is reasonably functional, I would prefer it,
  because they started it earlier and have done more communicating to
  actual users (asking opinions and such). 

  So, what do people think?
  Toni.

  ps. I realize this is very hard conversation to go via e-mails and
  such. Stay rational, let's try to avoid flaming, right?
