With the new forum.
As I am sure you are already well aware, any venture into a project where the intricacies of such may be new to you, becomes an ongoing learning experience. The measure of the potential for success of the venture depends to a large degree on one's willingness to accept and learn from errors and feedback along the way. From what I have seen thus far, you are well on your way to a successful forum. Do not be discouraged by the slanderous detractors out there that somehow feel threatened by your efforts - just consider the source of the nonsense. IMO, it takes a lot of determination and hard work to build a forum from scratch - whereas, to just go out and buy a well known and established forum , it is painfully obvious that any moron can do that.
Best of luck, Gene!
