Hi Geoffrey. It was tried two or three years ago. Hosted by Thom K3HRN. I was one of the moderators. We took the plunge because we thought that perhaps if people could see what an Elecraft forum could look like, with sub boards for different products (to address the concerns of K2 people that the K3 dominated the discussion etc.) they might be converted to the idea. But they weren't. There was a bit of activity in the early days but it eventually died and Thom pulled it from his server a few months ago. There was also a K3 wiki. That died too. I think the idea is and will always be a non-runner as there is too much resistance among users, as you have seen from other replies. However you can participate in the reflector in a forum-like way using Nabble (there is a link to it on the same Elecraft page that links to the reflector.) That is how most of us who would have preferred a forum now use it. ----- Julian, G4ILO.
