A proper forum

Twenty years ago we had a forum on this site. In 2026, we decided it was time for a return with a new forum.

I can’t seem to remember why the old forum shut down. Since Facebook launched at that time, I have a feeling the sign of the times then was that these kinds of forums would move to Facebook instead.

Why a forum at this time? The editorial team here at THS, along with some feedback we get from visitors, think that the comments to our articles often stray too far away from the topic. People seem to have a need for more discussions and a proper forum software will handle that better than the comment section here.

We are going to start with having the forums unmoderated. On the other hand, moderation of the comments will become tougher. Jokes and dog discussions and posts about non-DP family bands will have their new home in the forum.

Any feedback on the forum is of course welcome, preferably in the forum category ”Site Feedback”. We have started with a simple setup with a few categories. We will see how it develops over time.
