New forum on the way . . . Lord willin' and the creek don't rise!

[PoolDoc]

I've started updating hardware and software and am working toward the goal of a PoolForum reboot, with a new approach.

Old.Poolforum foundered under the weight of
+ A morass of imperfect answers, ranging from less than ideal to just plain bad.
+ A bunch of calcified ideas that I'd gone along with, for example "BBB method" never really reflected my thinking, but was 'close enough'.
+ Security issues that left me spending more time on the back end (fending off hackers and spammers) then on the front end, answering questions.
+ And most of all, a lack of standard answers to standard questions . . . meaning that the same questions had to be answered over and over.

And, then there were personal issues, of various sorts.

So, what now?

I think I'll wait till the bits are ready, since there seem to be 100 people or more copying anything I've done here. But hopefully, New.PoolForum.com will be live in 3 months, by May 1.

If you see this, and want to comment, send it to PoolForum at Gmail dot com. I've begun checking mail there again.

This forum is and has been the definitive pool chemistry reference site. Thanks Ben, hope it works out.

Perfect Idea! Thanks for doing this. I find it I spend a lot of time looking for answers. So looking forward to a revision of this forum!
