Hi Doug,

Maybe I'm wrong about this and in that case I apologize, but my only concern is that the forum doesn't seem to be too active. I don't even know how many people are still using it. I personally check what's going on there from time to time, but nothing more really. I'm only scared that the 2::week=>FB disappears before it even starts. The 12th of November there will be the second appointment on the FB group, it's still a fresh thing and people are only now getting involved. I have to admit I'm a bit skeptical about moving it to the forum, at least now. But that said, I personally find the forum a better place to do this kind of things. I'm not a Facebook fan at all! But the reality is, more people use FB nowadays and it's not always easy to bring them elsewhere. I'm with you, the forum is way more appropriate, but if that means killing the thing... I don't really know if it's worth doing this. But that's just my point of view. I'm more than happy to discuss this, on the FB group as well. I mean, if we see more people asking the same, so let's move it :)

cheers,
Mario

Hi guys,

I know the "platform choice" has always been an issue, and I'm not a Facebook fan as well, despite I still use it for certain things (ChucK group included). I'd like to find an alternative for sure, so I'm open to new proposal. But, at the same time I don't feel like I want to immediately drop the appointment on Facebook. We just started last week, the 29th, and I believe this things take time to "reach stability", plus changing platform after the first appointment could be confusing and daunting for some. That said, yes let's find an alternative to Facebook, totally up for that, as long as there are people supporting the thing and involved in the "organization". Let's find a solution here on the mailing list and try to get as much people involved as possible.

cheers,
Mario

    Hi

    I too won't use Facebook. From inception I couldn't figure out why
    I needed more friends and why I had to like a post. Silly stuff
    but we bought it.

        That's great and all, but ever since the Cambridge Analytica
        scandal, I've left Facebook, never to return. I'd love to hear
        more works in ChucK and take part in challenges, but not
        there. What about Reddit?
