To bury the INTERNATIONAL DIGEST FORUM may be a bit premature, but here's a bit of history (I love history!):
I first started hosting a forum in Worldcrossing in 2001, the International Forum. Claude participated and cohosted from the beginning. In the fall of 2002 I gave up hosting the IF.
Three years ago, exactly three years ago, in September 2005, I returned to Worldcrossing and after checking out some other forums like ALL THINGS INTERNATIONAL and RANDOM INTERNATIONAL for like ten days I started the INTERNATIONAL DIGEST FORUM.
Now the question is: is this the end of an era? Are blogs the new medium because there's not enough attention and money in forums? Moulton aka Barry tried to get me into blogging three years ago already, but I was too hooked on freewheeling forums.

Oh, bother, Archos finally found out how to switch his blog to English and we lost the delicious exoticism of seeing all those German words popping up !
Claude participated and cohosted from the beginning.
Historical correction: Claude and some 20 others participated and cohosted from the beginning (that bloated host list was to become the IF's downfall). The IF started in late 2001, I never realised it only lasted around one year, there were so many epical fights, alarms and catastrophs !
BTW, I don't think Himmelfarht is posting here, if you mean Roscrates, I think I know which RI poster it is.

I like he way Rubinstein plays, but the funeral march in that YouTube sounds distinctly flat in places.
I think blogs as well as forums may soon be on the way out as there can't be much money in them either.
I don't like the idea of a browser that tracks your every move from site to site online.
I am waiting for one that doesn't know you from Adam, couldn't care less about you, and leaves you alone.
