Hi Ross,

Having this many different forums really breaks up the sense of community. I suggest reducing the number and then adding more when you need them, if ever. I suspect that one reason why people use the mailing list instead of forums is the you get everything in one place, and you meet everyone who has posted whenever you download the list, which creates a sense of community. Ideally, the forums could serve to organize the messages, but not break up the sense of community.

Here's my suggestions:

Combine 'Music made with Audiomulch' and 'Performance...'
Combine Mac and PC plugins into one 'Plugins' forum
Combine 'Support...' and 'Bugs and Issues'

This is just off the top of my head.

Hi Doug

Thanks for the input. I think you are probably right about merging some of the forums. I'll be interested to see if anyone else posts a comment about it here.

There does seem to be a fair amount of confusion about the difference between 'Support...' and 'Bugs and Issues' although I do prefer to have the bug reports in one place (because I really don't want to set up a separate public bug-tracking database at this stage.

>Combine Mac and PC plugins into one 'Plugins' forum
Given the amount of traffic in these two forums that seems like a good idea.

Many thanks

Ross.
