I would be lost without this forum.   Discussions and info although at times, a bit hard to follow, I enjoy it.

It most definitely IS a great resource, used by some awesome people (yes, you lot).

But, I've said it before and I'll say it again, a forum is not the ultimate information resource. By their very nature they're inefficient and ineffective over the long term. Don't believe me? Try a search for some common subject. You'll get a ton of threads, which may contain dozens of pages, and no indication where the search term appears in them.

I believe a forum needs an accompanying resource to go with it and act as a permanent repository for information which surfaces in forum threads. Regardless of whether such a resource is a public website or a closed wiki or whatever, its the only way to maximise the benefit of all this stuff we dig up, while weeding out the inanities and tangents we are so prone towards. ;)

Geeebuss Fulvio, remind me not to invite you to my next party :laugh2:

 "a forum is not the ultimate information resource" No it's not and nor is the net but I don't think it is meant to be but I think it's more about like minded people talking, but by god it has helped me to no end and in many more ways than just coins..the love and friendship has helped my depression to no end, so much so I don't take any meds any more so I appologise for my rants from time to time (ok all the time hehe) but with such a top lot of people that actually care has made a world of difference to me..thanks all :)

When someone speaks from the heart it is SOOOO hard not to listen.

LOL! OK, I'll try to remember to remind you mate. :)

Not denying anything you said. But consider this...

Imagine you're at a party with an awesome bunch of musos. The best in the world. And they break out some instruments and start jamming.

Wouldn't you want to set up something to record it all?

That's what I'm saying. We have a great bunch here, and a lot of stuff passes through that should be recorded. In a way that makes it easy to refer to later. Which we don't really have yet.
