| Subject: | Re: How can we get a vital Commander forum? |
Adam I conquer with you completely,
For one thing, most of Jim Bob's posting do not make it on the forum. How
absurd is that?
Last year, Moe was trying to communicate to Jim about the incoming Fly-in
and Jim was trying to answer but was not being posted on the forum. It
seems indeed that people in Commander land have more and more drifted to
Facebook, where a casual post is fine, but there is no room for a
discussion in that format.
I dont' know if people have been communicating through the new TCFG web
page, but it's been really a long time since I have seen a constructive
conversation or inquiry about Commanders in this forum.
I know that other pillars in this forum such as Keith Gordon and John
Towner have had problems posting as well, and many posting show in the
forum but we do not get it in our emails. When things get too quiet, I have
to log on the forum to realize I have been missing a batch of strings!
All that to say, I agree 100%, that the issue of a better platform
discussion is necessary.
The idea to join both the Turbo and piston Commanders discussions have been
at the core of this group for a long time and the Twin Commander folks have
tried to reach to the piston group as well, but it is obvious that a common
forum where we could all discuss Aero Commanders would be beneficial for
both groups. We should let the users then decide on where to participate
but have the options open.
I have heard of the site being moved somewhere else but the forum itself
has stayed the same.

So, I'm glad someone brought this up as I'm new to the group and absolutely
hating the 1990's communication method :-) I am a software engineer and
own a software company that provides business systems to many different
industries. Only point here is that I own a large amount of web servers
and would be more than happy to host a new forum with the latest forum
software we can find. We can setup a few admins on the group to help
manage it and invite everyone we can find to participate in the talks. I
looked around and found one such forum but there was no activity on it and
I'm not sure why not. Maybe we can all just move over to their site and
start using it instead of using this email list.
My main complaint with this list is some conversations pop in out of
nowhere with an obvious conversation that was going on but I only get a
portion of it.
Just my 2 cents,
Glenn

You can't win an argument with an ignorant person. They'll just drag you
down to their level and beat you with experience.
