MATRIXSYNTH FORUM

And I decided to take the plunge. Title link takes you to a forum I just set up. This is the first MATRIXSYNTH user forum. I put up five categories to start:

Everything Synth
Everything Else
Music
On the Blogs
Wanted to Buy and Wanted to Sell

The descriptions for each are at the Forums. I'm going to keep it simple to start. I think forums have a tendency to dry up when the posts get too diluted.

A note on the "On the Blogs" forum: I created this for two reasons. One so people can have a place to share links to interesting posts they find out there. It is not limited to MATRIXSYNTH blogs, but any blog out there. Two, for posts that end up in the archives that people would still like to discuss. I decided to separate this from Everything Synth because the thought is this can become a place to specifically keep the comments on blog posts alive, long after they roll off the front pages of various blogs. It will also make it much easier to parse old posts and engage with others. I frequently get comments that might inspire discussion on old posts, but they go unseen because others rarely go into the archives. This forum will be a place where you can point people to that post you want to discuss.

So, go grab your name before someone else does, and DO NOT grab others names trying to impersonate them. I will remove your account and give it to the known owner of the alias. As for forum moderation and rules, use common sense. I won't be babysitting, but I will be watching.

I'll be adding a permanent link to the forum on the right in just a sec.

Also, I should note the forum has RSS out of the gate, so if you are into subscribing to RSS feeds it has it. Just look for the RSS icon on site or go to the bottom of the forum and look for the RSS text. Or, just click on this RSS icon here to subscribe.

Update: Looks like the RSS feed wasn't working in Bloglines for me. I updated the feed to Smart Feed with more options. The icon link in this post and on the forum goes to the Smart Feed page where you can read more about RSS and/or just subscribe to the appropriate feed for your reader. I use Bloglines and have it working fine now.
