Tip on Piers Anthony, if you like the Xanth series and you get a chance to read his short stories, DON'T. It's the rough equivalent of walking into your parents bedroom and not only catching them having sex but a full-blown S&M orgy.

The software that runs the forum needs somebody to tend it. I can do the basic stuff, but not code.
As for the forum itself, I think I can get a certain Uni to house it for me.

I can theoretically do that. I mean, I've looked at a few php forum projects, it's just I'd have to banefully spend a few days followiing the logic of the software.

Well. The thing is. Most forum software doesn't need a php dev to maintain it unless it breaks. I know enough to see if I can fix things, but my achillies heel is javascript.
I mean, I could actually host it. I'm just too lazy to and I'm not sure I'd get any one in it.

Is it nice to be talking about establishing another forum on a forum? Is that kind of like cheating?

I doubt JREF cares since it doesn't compete with them.
And it makes no money.

Oh come on. I haven't had one a-mail or PM since the end of 2011. Why continue with the vitriol when it's totally unnecessary?

Uh.. The new forum will make no money. Not the JREFF.
