I've been away from this thing for a couple of days so a few people have been waiting a while to have their comments approved. Actually, I guess I could have found the time to do it since it only takes a few seconds, but I must admit I hesitated a bit because of one particular comment. No, it wasn't anything bad. It was just a simple question: "how does this differ from The Circuit?".... The Circuit of course being the Greasy Lake message board. Well, there are several obvious differences. Here I decide the topics for one thing, and all replies have to be approved (and I won't approve just anything). But still, this could turn into another discussion forum, couldn't it? Some of the topics could even be the same as on The Circuit. And no, I guess that's not the idea. I don't have a really clear answer. Hopefully this will be more managable for those who feel The Circuit is too time-consuming and confusing with its myriad of activity. This is much more controlled. I won't rule out that deep down this could just me experimenting with a new media and abusing the popularity that Greasy Lake has gained and which assures a certain amount of readers. I certainly don't claim that what I have to say here is more interesting or worthwhile than what tons of people have to say on The Circuit, so I urge you to go there too and other message boards. Only time will tell what this thing turns into and if it will be viable in the long run.
