  • Start date
In summary, the conversation discusses the possibility of having a forum for discussing personal theories, suggestions, and DIY projects. However, it is mentioned that such forums have been attempted in the past and were difficult to maintain. Some members also question why this topic keeps coming up. A suggestion for a site logo is also mentioned.

Hi all,
It would be nice if we have a place to discuss our own theories suggestions, DIY things etc. If it cannot be done please someone give link to such websites etc.

Thanks

We had such forums - for example Independent Research - in the past. They proved to be unmaintainable. This was discussed many times in the past, like for example here and here.

I'm wondering why this question keeps coming up. Maybe a site logo like this would help.
