Heh, I was wondering when someone was going to make a post.
Actually the old forums got maybe a new post a month.
Honestly, I have no way of importing the old content. The forum was hosted by an free external provider and the forum was extremely simple. At best I could write a parser to parse out the posts, but the old forum didn't have user accounts, and it would be hard to match the old posts to users. Besides, there really wasn't enough content there worth saving.
I haven't put a huge amount of effort into this trying to bring "life" to this forum because I don't expect it to go far and there are much better alternatives out there. Mostly the forum is up because it took hardly any effort to set up, and basically I consider this "public e-mail" for now. For those of you listening out there, I do check this at least once a day despite the traffic volume, so I will respond to your posts almost as quickly as I would e-mail.
