We fully understand that our Wordpress-based forum system is different than most discussion boards that users are familiar with. The reason we picked this platform is that it is a lot more than just a forum, it is indeed a social network.
In the future, for example, we intend to allow users to freely start their own groups, and invite their own “friends.” This way they can discuss more specific subjects without using the public forum. There are also some features we are exploring that is only available through this system.
At the moment, it is kind of confusing to users in terms of where to post. At IRC, you have the option to write a quick update on the Group page, or post a new Topic at the appropriate forum. The group update is supposed to be just that, a quick update. If you have a question and intend to discuss it, please go to Forums (on the top right corner), and select “New Topic.” You can then write the title, the message, tags, and select a Group Forum to post. When you’re ready, click “Post Topic.”
You may also select the Group from the list under Group Forums Directory. Then from there go to Group Forum and post.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask.
