Post #2000: EatFeats forum announcement

For the post with id #2000 (there have actually been less than that amout due to deletions), I wanted to do something more significant than a typical post:

I have set up a forum at http://eatfeats.com/forum/ to enable people in the competitive eating community to comment on topics of their own choosing. You must have registered and logged in to post in the forum; anonymous posting is not allowed. If you have registered to comment on the blog, then that password will enable you to post on the forum. The forum should be considered beta, so I would not make a 5000 word post to the forum without saving it beforehand.

The software used is the Vanilla forum http://getvanilla.com/ software. The default view for this forum is a list of all threads sorted by most recent comment regardless of category, so you do not have to hunt through categories to find new material. I want to set up the blog so the most recent forum posts are listed under the most recent comments in the sidebar.

If there is not much demand for the forum, I am not sure it will be continued, but I thought I would see if there is a demand for a competitive eating forum.

update There appears to be problems with the permissions in posting. I will try to get those fixed by the end of the day.

    I tried to deflower the forum by being the first to post something, but I wasn’t able to, getting the following message:
    “Some problems were encountered
    There was a problem authenticating your post information.”
