        	        	<description><![CDATA[<p>OK, this forum is totally dependent on user input and involvement; if no one posts or participates, this place becomes stagnant and potential users, owners, and the curious will stop dropping by. So we need some STRONG involvment from everyone to start this ball rolling. </p>
<p>The advantage to this forum is it&#39;s easily searchable, can be customized and organized to our liking. The poster/user has much more control as well, as he or she can edit their posts, post links, retain a signature at the bottom of their posts, get notification emails if their posts have been responded to, subscribe to threads, get their own owner profile etc.</p>
<p>If anyone wants a new forom heading to put topics under or has a good arguement for reorganizing what is already here just pipe up and let me know. The goal is for it to be a downeaster home away from home for all of us.</p>
