@The Chief,

Sorry about that. I'd planned this very differently but was required to rush things due to software licensing issues and obligations I had to the former owner that changed my timeline unexpectedly.

Well it's only been a few hours, I'd give it a chance before you write it off. Soon you'll have a guy named Hawkeye taking up your cause (despite no knowledge of it) like a crusade, for that alone it will be worth sticking around. I'm going to do my best to provide you the niche you want here, and before we get carried away the old forum was a few months old itself and was barely active at all (it would sometimes go without any posts at all in a day). Part of what I am doing here is consolidating our forums for the network effect. I was also looking at another android forum to merge with (it wasn't Droid, but it was G1) and will continue to try to boost the activities on our forums by consolidating them here and I think that once we make some of the software tweaks we have planned to better support niche enclaves you'll be much better off here than on the old, nearly-inactive, forums.

Sorry, but this is just not in the cards. To begin with, I can't operate the site under that domain anymore as it contains trademarked terms and could be taken away from me at Motorola first inclination.
