Yeah, I agree with that too Black Shimmer. Kinda like the new forum The True Story. BaltoSeppala is really the main one who posts in there, and only a few others.
Well, actually, we've had a lot of people post there. I could include a list, but why? You've implied that you were by there, and have seen the board. If that's the case, why haven't you participated? Everyone's welcome to do so.
I dunno...maybe I shouldn't have said this. But that statement didn't seem very kind. Some people (including myself) have worked hard there, and not asked for any attention or reward.
EDIT:
I thought a bit more about this. It's really not about the number of people posting, I think. Anyway. I think it's about the quality of posts. Sure...there's not a LOT of people posting...and there are only a few regular posters...but isn't that besides the point? There actually are a lot of people stopping by the forum and at least looking at the posts. My one "Cartoon of Togo" thread managed to receive over 400 view in less than a week! Of course, that's an extreme, but it does show that people have been in there looking. It also proves that not a lot of people know much about the real history, and maybe are not comfortable with posting.
In any case, I'm just happy providing the material for everyone. Even if they don't say much in response. At least I know they're looking. To me, that is another step in honoring Balto, Togo, Fritz, Leonhard Seppala, Gunnar Kaasen, Curtis Welch, etc.
