But, there are other podcasters we may also want to include as regulars, more potential members. Our current members have a reputation for exceptional rough-n-tumble high caliber debate, embrace the reputation. Troll other podcasters forums & advertise this fact.

Is this a long running forum? How do you have more 1000 posts? You could call yourself Emperor for all i care. Just curious.

You didn't notice all of the other sections of the forum where Hash posts opinions, pictures, etc?

This particular forum has been around for a decade. I started it after I left my other forum at hash.com which has been around for 2 decades. I left that forum for similar reasons to Dan leaving his (but I never destroyed mine.) Because of that previous experience, until "DCF Refugees," I used this forum like a superblog, not allowing members. It's only part of the "Martin Hash" brand. (See links to my other media on the MartinHash.com main page.)

The costs were not worth it or are you a Dan Carlin conspiracy theorist?

Dan didn't shut down his forum due to cost.

I've learned to zen in the past half-dozen years or so. I used to take things too personal, like everybody.

I'd almost prefer to leave the DCF branding behind in favor of something new. We all owe Dan a debt for giving us a place to gather initially, but with this transition I feel like we can still have our brand of debate without associating ourselves with the Dan Carlin brand. Not that I dislike the brand, but it'd be kind of scummy to try and hang on to that old label. We could change the DCF Refugees label once everyone has settled in to the new place.

And Dan gave martinhash.com a shoutout on the most recent podcast, so that coupled with our activity and the independent work by some of our forum members, I'd say we're well set-up for an influx of new members.

That's just my two cents. :geek:

At what point would it be concluded that everyone is settled?
