I've been looking into it and it would cost $6/month to setup a forum and have it any way we want it.
Dunlop Ultex 1.0mm for me.
Hell, for that matter, I could run a forum application on my site space. I just use it to have some on-line storage anyway. If you guys really feel strongly about this, I'd be more than happy to set up one of the many free forum apps up out there on
http://www.pixelboxcreative.com. There'd be no mandatory cost to you guys, and we could have categories again.
There are things to consider....
1) I know I'm a designer and everything, but it is said that "the cobbler's son has no shoes". So designing the website would be a low priority for me. With that said, it's not like I'll never do it. Besides, I already have the free version of
Vanilla Running on my server.
2) My hosting is via GoDaddy, so it is a shared server. I'm worried that large traffic may slow the site down pretty bad, but then again, it may not.
3) I'd need a few trustworthy people to be moderators. Actually, that doesn't seem to be a problem, I just need some people to be available and use good judgement.
4) The URL wouldn't be anything fancy like Guitar My Life. It'll probably be something confusing like
http://www.pixelboxcreative.com/iplayguitar/ or
http://www.pixelboxcreative.com/sherdmylife/ or something
Think about it and let me know. I won't do it unless several GML users are willing to make the switch. Maybe Greg will be inspired to fix the fucking categories if we all leave? I dunno.
P.S. - Calli is an A-hole. But I can't help but love her.
