I understand the motive for making a free dc community.
But, in making a free-dc team, then how is this forum any more free than any other forum?
I am from team HardOCP, and would really enjoy a neutral teritory to discuss and enjoy DC that involved other team members as well, but this is not it, as it is just another DC team competing against the one I am currently on. And as such I don't really feel at ease here, which IMHO _should_ be the purpose of this forum given the name you have given it.
I applaud your decision for this board, its really nice, but it is not going to achieve what you are trying to achieve.
It will not be free for the above mentioned reasons, a free DC forum would be one that was not to linked to anything but DC (as this forum is), would not be linked to any commercial interests (as this forum is) and finally would be free for all DC'ers, an open forum for everyone from all teams (as this forum is not).
I think you guys should instead stay on your respective teams (ars ones mostly I assume), this way you will initially attract many more people to this forum from all teams. The teams then present on this board will be like the sub-teams you had on Ars, an idea I assume you still think is a good one (rightfully so, it is).
Please consider not to just make this potentially great board, into just another team forum.
