And if the purpose of the separate forum is to encourage more
participation amongst fabricators, how are you going to do that and how
is that any different than encouraging the same non-participating fab
houses to use the existing forum?

I don't really think that is an objective view.

Good question Franklin.
It would be the same answer as how would they find the new, separate
forum in the first place.
Change the forum name to PCBTECHNET?
Interesting tabulation.  What makes fabricators want to segregate
themselves from the rest of the using industry?

The reason for suggesting a new forum was to enhance interaction between
fabricators. The goal or intent is not to "separate" anything but to
enhance cooperation and sharing of information between board makers.

From my count, nearly all YES type votes were from the fabricators as
well as assemblers and end users.

There was only 1 NO type vote from a fabricator that I counted.

From an objective view I have not see any justification or argument for
not having a separate fabricators forum.

So going back to the original suggestion, especially from those of you
that find it a bad idea not to have another forum, how can we, how can
you, increase the level of fabricators subscribing to TechNet.
