Forum history?
Posted: Sat Dec 11, 2021 6:38 pm
I'm curious about the history of this forum and how it relates to any spinoff. I have heard that there is also a facebook group for the Dragon. I'm wondering whether this (worldofdragon) forum happened first and that subsequently there was a partial exodus from it to facebook or whether the two groups just happened in parallel.
I haven't looked on facebook; I can't, I'm not a member. I take issue with having to hand over my DOB, a photograph and a scan of my passport/driving licence in order to get an account. However, would it be true to say that the facebook group is more active than this one? It would be a shame if so and if there was no sharing of ideas and projects between the groups.
As an example, as a Dragon newbie and after bringing up my 32s to 64K, the next kind of upgrade on my list was some form of RGB interface. That struck me as such an obvious project to do that I was surprised that there was precious little mention of such a thing in the hardware section. I have come across mention of "Phill's RGB board" (prime I assume?) and that Hoglet may have produced another at some stage (or maybe that was only the Atom one). So, for instance, were the details of those ever posted on one group and not the other?
Excuse me in the event that I've inadvertently raked up any sensitive past history.
