What have I done and why have I done it?
- I started an old-school message board/forum for this blog.
- Because I miss blog forums.
You might be saying, “But Mike, there’s Reddit, Discord, Facebook Groups, Instagram comments, etc, for that stuff now!”
You’re right, but it’s all kind of exhausting. We’re too spread out. Scrolling too much. At least I am.
I thought it would be nice to hang out with and get info from a like-minded cassette tape playing music and analog loving community.
Social media only gives you want it wants you to see and then it goes away – message board stuff stays up and there is no algo’ involved.
Maybe I will be alone on the board. That would suck, but at least I would have this idea out of my system (I have been thinking about doing it for years on other blogs I have).
But maybe it will be cool too. I hope you join me.
