As we open this up, we don’t necessary know if new people who join the forum will respect Stan wishes. I want to believe people will but I guess we will have to wait and see. Thoughts?
That had crossed my mind as well. I wonder if an old forum will bring in even a fraction of the crowd that the FB group does? I feel like forums tend to be a lot less frequented these days.
I doubt the forum will ever return to being "the" place to hang out, except for us cool people
Unfortunately the popularity of instant "this & that" via Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Tik Tok and who knows what else, has sort of made forums obsolete. I however prefer the format that a forum offers. For me it provides more stability, where I can easily come back to a specific topic or discussion. Maybe I just don't know how to use all the tools available to me on Facebook.
But going back to the people that may or may not join... my opinion is proceed with caution. It only takes one inconsiderate individual to mess things up. Take the leaked storyboards that appeared recently one day on Facebook (You Tube)...
Not to sound selfish, and this may not make me popular, but I say leave Facebook to the masses, and keep the DojoBoard to ourselves. If new members join by chance, fine, but no need to invite everyone. And I still think it would be a good idea to set up a private room for staff, and Stan, to hang out and discuss matters.
