The new This Ain’t Hell
Although Just A Grunt raised legitimate doubts in my mind last night, we’ve decided to plow ahead blindly with our forum which will be installed on Monday by some guy I’ve never met. The blog will remain the same, with the same bloggers you’ve come to know and/or love, but the forum will be all yours within certain limits to be determined. As I mentioned yesterday, Ponsdorf has volunteered to moderate it and I’ve asked Claymore to help him and they’re going to run the show.
For the bloggers out there, I intend that one area will your place to drop off links to your own blogs that you think will interest us – think LGF’s Link Viewer and Conservative Grapevine. maybe that’ll make up for all the times you’ve sent me links and I didn’t use them. Sorry.
But, like I said, it’s going to be all yours. Please clean up after yourselves and keep your feet off of the furniture. I’ve moved the liquor cabinet to another URL.
Of course, I encourage you to hit the tip jar to help us defray some of the costs of this professional installation and I guarantee that anyone who hits the tip jar this weekend will be exempted from any associated fees I might impose down the road if that ever becomes necessary. Kate is our first Charter Member.
Also, all of you who have posting privileges are welcome to post this Open Blog Weekend, if you’ve a mind. I’ll probably be around to resolve any issues you might have with the blog. Just email me and I’ll get you straight. If anyone else wants to blog this weekend, let me know. That includes Don Carl, NHSparky and GI Jane who’ve been registered here for years and haven’t posted in ages.

No liquor cabinet? I have to rethink the nice things I said about you!
Honestly, I’ve thought before that what the military community needs is a few less blogs and a few more good forum communities. I use Drupal on my own site in part because I intended to eventually have a forum built-in; the software supports that. I long ago gave that up and just went with periodic (less and less frequent) blogging.
Of course, this may be in part because my formative years were spent on text-based bulletin board systems…
