first of all, thanks to evertyone for pitching in, and contributing, in so many different ways. this Omega Discussion Forum is really an amazing community . . . my best evidence remains the fact that this Forum did so well, and had so few problems, over the six months when there was no moderator / no access to the "back-end" of the website / no nothing!! just a big, wide open space, with lots of guys participating . . . and isn't that what the internet / watch collecting is all about??
I have lots of thoughts re Discussion Forums (and how they relate to sites with more substantive content); competition between forums; possibilities of new Forums for Chronocentric; possibilities for substantive content for Chronocentric; etc.; etc. Unfortunately, I will not have any time to commit these thoughts to writing / posting over the next few days, but I will hope to share some ideas sometime soon.
thanks again to all our readers / writers / lurkers / etc.
Jeff
