I’m a new reader of WH, so I’m not sure. What would the forum be focusing on? Do you think you have a community that can back the forum up and make it a good place?
I think people have a tendency to vote yes just because yes is better than no. But on the other hand, if you’re going to add a forum, that is going to take time from other things, in the extension, is a WH forum worth the time it will steal from other things Neil could do. Just a thought.
Very nice thought, and I respect your comment, thanks!
These are all things to take into consideration, I have had many forums up and running, on different URL’s and they all failed for the above reason, you need active users and without active users you get nothing…
I was hoping with this poll that I would clearly see what users wanted, I will be keeping this up for a few weeks, seeing what users want to see, if over 85% of them say Yes (in a few weeks) then I think I will have a stab at getting a forum together.
The authors and friends of mine are all up for the challenge, but again that brings it down to the readers of WH, will they stick in and read through threads etc…
Also another thing would be to have a really simple forum, that allowed users to discuss blog posts on WH, instead of comments, this could be a possibilities, so when there is a new blog post, a new forum thread would be created and users can then interact with each other, what do you think about that?
I have also voted yes… i think it is a good idea… I have tried a few forum packages(mysqul)and if you are planing on setting up a mysql based one i can help you if you like…
If you chose an invision free one like gcycycle then i am happy to help
i’d say no, ppl come here cos its quick to the point blogging :] a forum would be no more beneficil than these comment boxes, and mostly just fuels spam.

hey just voted, and I think that it would be a great idea, not only to discuss the posts, but maybe just computer’s and hacking in general.

Some good points Tetsuo, but looks like people would like a forum?
