Thanks for the vote of confidence Irv and Tommy.

Irv, what category would you say tutorials should be in?

Current setup permits discussion in many of the more popular
discussions that occur on the EuForum (topica) as I see them.
Please let me know if you would like to add a specific forum
topic and it will appear as soon as I read your email.

Al Getz asked for a forum for his new WinClass OO library
to spark interest in his library (which is nicely done btw Al)
Although no activity in this forum the author in this case should
find this type of forum will allow him/her to collectively monitor
questions and keep track of these questions so guiding users to
this collective spot can help the author and user audience.
I can allow authors to moderate a particular forum topic so they
would have edit and deletion power, if I am unable to monitor
topics to suit their needs.

There is an off topic arena that would allow off topic discussion
but those messages are automatically deleted from the database
after they reach 14 days old. Most of the other forums do not
have a time limit.

I hoped to have a dialup bandwidth savy interface up by now but
as with all new projects come the inevitable initial flaws.
Currently the default forum style is fairly small and pretty fast to load.

If you havent taken a look or are an older member take a new look.

btw, I plan to change the URL soon to //eu.mygso.com

Regards,
Euman
