First and foremost we know that content is king of the hill. So we're not going to make it difficult for people to join and get discussions going. We've settled on the vBulletin forum software for a few reasons. First and foremost, it's the biggest and best. Obviously that isn't always the right choice but we wanted a stable forum that doesn't crash and one that has a familiar look and feel for users.
VB has been around for years and each iteration moves the goalposts slightly while leaving the user experience intact. As two out of three of us aren't hugely technical we like this!
The next stage is more complicated and to be honest we're still playing with the initial ideas. In brief we're looking at creating a portal style front end that the user can manipulate and customise but most importantly one that they can use to get content onto the site including multi-media and text from a whole variety of platforms. We have a vision of members reportage from the scene! This is all on the back-burner for now though so don't expect any updates on this for some time.
