If a forum like this was set up on a remote site, would you folks register and frequent it?
I can't help but think of the other two phorums that were set up around big exodus time.
There were two? I only knew about AppleSwitcher.
Not counting Nastyforum®™ here.
There were two others that users set up quickly using Phorum.
They saw a little traffic for a while but the bulk of users chose OWC. Guess they thought they'd get free stuff or something...
There was Macinforum which was set up by Tempe aka papercup, and someone else set one up and I feel terrible that I can't remember who. So there were three "alternative forums" set up when everyone left Dealmac (this does not include AS which was started earlier than that), but everyone chose this one to frequent. One died pretty fast as I recall but Macinforum hung in a bit longer.
