Brian, you are correct in that I am for a new forum. But the votes will be the deciding factor... and of course, as will Dale.
I want to keep the UP forum strictly UP, period. But I also want to have a place for the other pipers to go, but remain here at C&F. I don't know about anyone else, but I find it a royal pain in the kiester to surf around from site to site just to read or type a few words... call me a creature of liesure.
What C&F once was and is today cannot be helped. Have you checked the membership census lately? As of 10:08 am, EST, we have 5,734 users, and this figure has been growing by 3 to 4 new members every day... not including spambots. Like it or not, that's a load of users and confining them to a small little forum isn't possible. I like the idea of a mom and pop styled cosy message board, but the likelyhood of a popular site as such remaining that way is next to nil... unless you do not permit membership beyond a certain limit, and I do not think that is what C&F is or ought to be about. Do you?

Wait a minute, didn't you recently state that you were the one who convinced Dale to initiate the UP thread, on this
Irish Tin Whistle Site? I am sorry, but I find this contradictory and your argument against another forum weaker as a result. No offense, but that is simply how I see it.
Again, I do not see any big deal about another forum, what's it really going to hurt? And yes, again, I am in favor of it but the descision is not mine, solely, to make.
