This is such a great site already. I love what you’re doing with permission levels, your guidance on how to be a great participant, and your choice of software.
I don’t have any major negative feedback right now, I just wanted to say well done.

I want to echo this! And I can just jump between tabs in the Hangouts section, that’s a huge relief!

I’m so happy with the kind of discussions we have here. They fill exactly the hole I was feeling on Twitter and coexist nicely with Twitter and the Gauntlet Slack.

I agree - I don’t think I’d realised how much I was missing forums. The ability to have long form discussions with threads feels like such a tiny, retro thing and yet you really can’t beat it.

I – like many here, I’m sure – came up on forums and lucked out that I was a part of some really great ones, and while G+ was great for what it was (and I won’t pretend this is a replacement for that) and reddit is … you know, fine, I guess, this really is my preferred mode of communication online and I’m so glad to have this place.
(I know lots of people love Slack and Discord but I just don’t have the cognitive load for those places …)

I always enjoy the forums experience, possibly because I come from the 56k days of the internet. It feels almost like passing notes or letters back and forth, a kind of relaxed laid back exchange of ideas as opposed to the rapid-fire pace of modern social media. I can leave, come back a few days later and slowly catch up, and still feel like a contributor.
I hope everyone who comes to these forums also will feel at home, comfortable, and most of all, feel like they can express ideas at their own pace. I look forward to the conversations and ideas we will all generate together.

I’ve only been here a few days, but i came over to this forum to post a message saying basically exactly the same. The software is slick, the conversations are interesting and the atmosphere is welcoming. I’m glad I’m not the only one to have noticed!

This is truly the slickest forum software I think I’ve ever used. Is it a product that’s available or something custom for The Gauntlet? Either way, huge kudos to the folks behind it!

As a newcomer to the Gauntlet I am loving the forum experience. I don’t have a huge amount of time on my hands to spend online, but I love being able to pop back on every so often, everything is very neatly sorted, and I love the contributions everyone makes to the discussions. Everyone is always so polite and informative, even non-expert opinions find their place in the conversation. Thanks everyone for making this website great!
