I know I’ve been saying for months that we were going to be moving something new for FlashinTO. After lying abandoned by all but the most dedicated members we’ve decided to lay the forums to rest. Forums are really pretty old school at this point anyway – at least we hope you agree.

There were however two things that the forums were still used for: posting upcoming events and listing job postings. For events, you’ll see a list of upcoming events on the right and there is also an events page. You can also find event info on at www.facebook.com/flashinto

For job postings, we’ve added a classifieds plug-in so that everyone can continue to post and view local jobs. You’ll find a link to the right or go here: http://www.flashinto.com/index.php/flashinto-classifieds/

Over time if we see the need, I may expand the classified categories to include things other than jobs.

If you maintain a blog and want on the blog roll, let me know in the contact section.

There is still much to do, but this is a start at least. If you have any suggestions please feel free to comment here or contact me.

See you tonight at Gathering v84.0!
