Chris,
That is indeed the main problem I forsee with it, as with any new
community-oriented site. Building up a community organically is hard and
time-consuming. This is why I'm promoting it in a respectful manner here and
elsewhere. Around 10 years ago, there was a successful forum with a very
Hi Ryan,

Hi,
I assume you're asking about the Page Forms extension. There are ways to do
