What Seattle has (IMnshO) that many other places donīt is what I perceive to be a disproportionate (good thing) number of active FTers in relation to its population, etc. It also seems to have regular FT gatherings, perhaps more than many other places of its size. Destination forums sometimes are a good place for at least notices of community events. I know that airline forums also have been used from time to time for this.
While my perception may be currently clouded by some of the tasty beverage offerings here in the Salon VIP Neruda @SCL
, I donīt think that it is
As far as a "recipe for a dead forum," you canīt have a recipe if you donīt have a cookbook. The recipes that arenīt in the cookbook get lost and often never used again. Seattle deserves its own cookbook.
