There are more nays than yays and that doesn't even count the large silent population who probably won't participate. I figured many Siliconera readers were already part of another active forum so having a message board here may have been redundant. It looks like that's the case because so many people are against a decision. @philemon and anyone else wondering about the decision – I was really planning on doing it, but so many “no”s suggest that readers here aren’t interested in having a forum.

The main reason being is I'm quite active in other forums already. These forums cover such a wide spectrum of topics that I wouldn't see myself participating in Silicon's if they had them. I just enjoy the commenting on topics and stories. In all honesty I don’t think I would use it. The main reason being is I’m quite active in other forums already.

Even the comment system is not a mandatory one.. Why all the hate ? After all, there are some *gasp* nice boards on the web and with SE's mature audience this move might be the right move. I second Vyse's opinion on this one. Peeps, you don’t have to use the boards if you don’t want to. Even the comment system is not a mandatory one.. Why all the hate ?

Maybe a few posts now and then, but not much, if any. I don´t even post much in the comments as it is... But well, if others want it and will use it, I don´t see a problem with that, but I´m guessing it will be probably more of an extra rather than a basic feature for the site.
