[Consim-l] New Forum: Old Soldiers Magazine

[Mike NotSpecified]

I'm in favor of the group hug, no sarcasm.  But Tom, can you clarify one 
thing?  Your original post refered to ACG, Armchair General forums.  Is that 
the group you are wanting to get away from?

I've argued since the beginning of ConsimWorld that having multiple forum 
sites (remember, most publishers have their own as well) tends to fracture the 
hobby.  I don't miss the flame wars on this list, but I do miss hearing about 
new products etc. unless I'm carefull to sign up for newsletters from all of 
the publishers I care about.

Also, web forums are the least effective way to communicate in my mind, how 
often do you think I'll rememeber to go check the Old Soldiers fourm, the 
Columbia Games forum, the Avalanche Press forums at CW, the Avalanche Press 
daily content at their website, the.... you get the idea.  If I had 2 hours a 
day to devote to the hobby I'd be playing, not surfing endless websites and 
forums... I hope you'll post any Old Soldiers updates to this list!
