Since the MxO forums will be shutting down soon, I wanted to know if there's a particular fansite that the majority of the active MxO base will be using afterwards.  Stratics and Vault seem to be dead, and Rumbaar is almost deserted from what I could tell.

We'll probably want a place to form and advertise Redpill-run guilds for the major upcoming MMOs, as well as have a place to reminisce and host the screenshots that people are frantically compiling.

I like the idea of having a post-DN1 forum for us to go to.

I wouldn't mind having another DN1 forum. I visit this one almost every day to compensate for boredom.

Definitely in favour of some sort of "official" home after this one closes down, whether it's one that currently exists or something yet to be created.

I would sudgest making it somewhere that is independent of any player made/run. We all think its a good idea now but two years down the road what happens when the admin decides he doesnt want to pay for it/update it/ keep it spam free etc.

We have pages on Facebook and Myspace. I say use those as a hub if anything.

mxoboards.com.

Oh wait.

We could use proboards with several people stated  as admins.

Yea, it could be a free board.  I doubt anyone's going to care that it's not paid.

How about naming it "The Construct"?

I'd care. I can't stand free boards.

There are several people - myself included - who have the resources to host forums, and have no reason to ever close them (i.e. the cost is marginal or nonexistent). It's then a matter of trusting that person to not show any bias. You'd have to deal with that issue wherever the forums are hosted though; there's always going to be one person ultimately in control.

Well if anyone is going to put up such a board, I'd be more than happy to help out as a Moderator.

Has everything I could ever need. No need for MxO forums ;D

Though I did hear MxOMainframe forums were the place to be.

   As do I.  I don't want to step on Mindsweep's contact list, but I think we also need a place to stick together as a community.  I believe it was Phrack who said that he regrets losing touch with people who have left the game long ago.  If we had a "post-MxO" forum then we can stick together, and hopefully there will be a specific place where long lost MxO friends can see us again.

   Also, the MxO community seems to be one of the most active Matrix communities around.  I've been to Matrix forums like matrixcommunity.org, thelastfreecity.com, and matrixfans.net.  And while they're not inactive, they're no where near as active as this community.

   We don't have to talk about MxO there if we don't want to.  We should talk about whatever we want.
