@lia I think you picked such an important time, or Future Motion picked it for you by realizing the issues of managing a forum full of RTR hate and deciding to shutter it before that happened. Oh, did I just uncover the reason behind FM's decision to close the forums?
I'm mad at FM too, but all the hate and rancour over on Reddit (which used to be a happy place) makes me just want to hang out here, in this happy, safe place. I hope this forum stays this way for a long time. Thank you × ∞, for creating it.

@biell I really appreciate that. I certainly intend to keep this forum as is without the pretty hostile and somewhat unhinged behaviour that was noticed elsewhere.
Keeping the forum as a sort of safe stoke filled space is my goal and what I loved about the old forum. It still confuses me as to why they got rid of the one space that was both chill with them and they had 100% control over. Their loss as we control the forum now :)

@lia -- Keeping this forum civil, constructive, and friendly sounds perfect to me. Call on me if need be. Great forum!

that is by design. shit is insidious. an algorithm designed to assess, quantify, instigate and exacerbate heightened emotionality in normal respondents. i don't even use the downvote in reddit just to fuck with it.

Tomorrow at 16:39 GMT the forum turns 1 year old.
(Expect a celebration post. I know at least one of you saw it because I didn't realise mods could see scheduled posts lol)I was going to make it public knowledge this space exists via a reddit post, especially considering I think everyone actually knows at this point anyway and most just aren't interested in the forum as was before.
BUT...
This is your space so I thought I'd leave it up to a vote. It occurred to me that maybe some prefer to keep it a niche lesser known space.
Upvote this comment for a yes to be public or Downvote to keep it "secret".
I'll give it 24 hours (Stopping the count at 1pm GMT).Feel free to comment with any additional thoughts or to voice your say <3

@lia -- A wonderful accomplishment! Your creativity is awe-inspiring!

@s-leon Thank you, it's been a pleasure doing this <3

That aside ... IMO the forum deserves wider awareness by now. Whether it reflects in bunchload of new active members or not. There's no way FM could bully about this forum or another. Since these are "unoffical" enthusiasm driven spaces and their official labels/logos aren't represented by any commercial purposes. And cached old posts from previous og forum are not their property either - these are of community's and people's who posted these at first place. -
Thanks for creating the forum…]
First post for me… been floating since mid 2019 on an XR in and around the south (mainly) of the UK…
I have to say, inspired originally by Slydog Stroh 🤙Next post will be some photos of the various iterations of my XR throughout its life thus far 😏 over in The Wall of Stoke photoshoot section.
