-------[Thanks for your time]-------

Do you want this posted or PM'ed?

the only one I can think of that I visit regularly is Road to Recovery, James55's board. I think there are about 30 members, It is a board for people who need support in recovering.. I like it because it is different. 5 out 5 for a rating, although I wouldnt say it is directed at the masses, you have to be in the right mind set for to enjoy visiting, ie you are in a positive mood and want to help or you are in need of help.. not a place to have a flame war.
other than that i really only visit warez related boards\,\\

2.How many members does each forum you visit have
--Included with part 1.


3.what are the good things you like about them
The are all about Macintosh computing.


4.what are the bad things. how do you think they can change them.
For having members contributing access to betas discussed in the forums, hopefully not illegal, but for learning how to use the software.

5.what would you like to see in a non-warez forum or message board.
I would love to see if the BIG companies would allow forums to actively participate in testing beta software. However, that is nothing to do with the forum, more to do with the company sueing the forum community.


6.What are your rating of each forum.
They are all GREAT forums. They constantly discuss Apple beta software. Jaguar, Powerbook G4s :):)

7.Any comments you like to add to this post.
AppleInsider.com had many members loose their jobs @ Apple, because their company was frightened about secrets getting let out. I would think that if people know how to use your software, the more the better, get the bugs out, if people want to test it let'm. But I'm just a small student as of right now. :(

Having a forum actively pirating software is not great and could cost the companies that put out those titles serious cash reward, though people should be encouraged to share w/out the threat that they will loose their job and anything of that nature. Mabye there are people that do not have Apple Developer Subscriptions, as they cost $500 dollars (standard), and they might love to test out new Apple software to review it and let others know if its stable and or what current bugs might be.

Digital, if you or anyone else has questions about what I'm tring :blink: to convey, please let me know when ever possible.

this guy i know wants to start a non-warez forum

now he did start a all weather forum which didnt go so well. So i am aksing this at a few forums to see what kind of input i can get and give him. So he cant have a better shot at starting a non-warezed forum again.


thanks for your time. :)

Theres not too many members, but they like to talk about conspirousy theories.
