Re: DEF CON re-vamp - feedback requested

These forums are steadfast. Yes they are long in tooth, but they are archival, and considering the speed at which computers change, these forums are downright relics. And that's not bad in any way. I know of no other place where hackers can voice themselves, and do so freely, on a site with software designed to be archival. No one knows what you did on Facebook 12 hours ago nevermind 12 years ago. These forums never forget. If they are to be replaced. I hope their successor is as steadfast in keeping the acquired knowledge available.

Don't get me wrong kiddo. I don't mind the forums, and I agree with the archival nature of them. There's even a format for my poor old eyes (and thank you, Cot, wherever you are tonight, for that). I'm sure that Reddit will be helpful, and I suspect that the kids out there will still be happiest with twitter. Hey, I still remember the announcement on CUD, back in the long ago times, and the world now hardly resembles the one then.

Personally, I'm a FB hater (other than a few relatives). I still drop in here now and then to see what's up, but I'm a lot happier away from the madding crowds.

No worries.
