    Subject: How can we get a vital Commander forum?
    From: "stratobee" <adam@adamfrisch.com>
    I'm not sure I'm doing it right. I've always logged into this forum that's hosted here at Matronics, even though I'm a TCFG member (I can't log in from the website). It's not really a forum, it's more of a list. I'm not sure that's the same forum you see if you log in from the TCFG website, or if I happened to stumble on some backdoor entry. In any case, all the posts look like a string of usenet list, with quotes embedded with weird chevrons etc in plain text. It all looks very 1994 and on code level. Is that how everyone else sees it to? I would suggest we start a proper forum, with topics, and where members have to use their own name. I would model it after the Beech Forum, which is exemplary. I would use that web host engine. I would also like to see more intermixing and intermingling between the turbine crowd and the piston crowd. Today there seems to be an abyss between the two - and no good place to find much information. The factory forum is pretty dead. If we could somehow combine them all in one place, we might get some real conversation going. I understand there's a lot of info that's embedded here in lists from the past that would not be easy to port to a forum, but as it is now, it's very hard to search on the Matronics list - one almost has more luck just Googling for it. Has there been any plans to port this forum or list to a fully blown forum? -------- Adam Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=447355#447355
