it would be nice to have a web-based active community where the content is searchable via google. if this forum isn’t indexed by google then i would think the subreddit would actually be a better option to encourage people to use
Absolutely. I think forums are a much better way for in depth discussion than most other forms of written communication. And discourse is a great platform for forums. I’m very glad this forum was created!
Yes! There is no modern way to interact with other users at the moment, especially now that monome norns has respawned some interest in learning Supercollider. Well done.
Yes we need it!
As a beginner, I feel it’s missing, I feel dumb asking questions that have probably been answered a million times before, but are hard to find on FB, Slack or mailing list archive.
Indeed we need it. I left Facebook many moons ago, and never regretted it, it’s invasive and not really suited to the needs of a more detailed forum discourse that we ‘had’ on the old SC forum. I’ll be interested to see how this develops, especially as a data base for information concerning problems and basic help, etc. The old forum was great for inspiring ideas, solving issues (no matter how small), and kept people in touch with each other.
Thank you so much guys!!! I definitely will use this forum. I use the mail listing forum from Birmingham Uni, and reddit, but I always wished, that there ll be a similar forum like the one I know from openFrameworks…and now we have it
For shure! Its better because you can see all the topics at a glance, it have markers and tags and Its also easier to use. If someone could upload the email archive it would be great. It think that it is also fundamental to have the development community here as well, and so the forum first page should be divided into Dev / Users topics.
