Howdy there ! I’m lucid and I work on the social media for kglw.net. I’m trying to encourage more people to join the forum.
What has been y’all’s favorite parts about using the forum? Why would you recommend it to another Gizzard fan?
Honestly, learning more music from other music-obsessed types. So much sharing and discussion going on.

For me it’s a couple of things.
I’ve always loved forums back in the early 2000s.
I dislike most social media (reddit, discord, facebook, etc - but love the fediverse 
),
so I’m very happy that community run site and forums exist
and that it appears to run free and open source software:
(nitpick: I would prefer any forge other than github 
)

I second all of what devrtz said. I stay off basically all social media except for reddit. Now that reddit is… doing whatever they’re doing, I think a fan lead place for my favorite community on the internet is a great idea.
As a newer contributor to the site, the forums main draw is just the incredible group of people who engage here and their passion. In depth discussions, content, etc get posted here from people who know their stuff. Even moving from reddit, I’m happily surprised to see the increase in passion and friendliness which makes me hopeful for the future of the site.
I think independent forums and sites are the future of nerding out, collaboration, and being a part of the Weirdo Swarm. At least that’s why I’m here.

We’ve got a great little group here, but we have plenty of room to grow. How can we spread the word about our forum?
Can we all invite a couple people to come check it out? Share a link to a post on a Discord server, mention us on reddit, tell the person sitting next to you on the bus!
