Default What about the ute people?
Just wondering if we're going to get a ute forum? Surely AP will have a say in it.

Bear with us guys.. All things will be considered in time..

We need to get the basics right before we look at specific forums & such.. We're still trying to get the basic site right!

No, they will be discussed in the Early Falcon area, along with advances with Carbuterror Technology (tm).

Need to gauge how many people would actually be in it

Trying to keep the forums as compact as possible, but yes, at the same time listening to what you guys want

Cheers
