Guys, has there been any thought to setting up a dedicated forum for Mastercoins? I'd be happy to set up and host a forum site if desired, powered around SMF or any other forum software. I have about 15 years experience administering Linux systems and development and run a company that develops custom software products for large enterprises. It would run on a Linode VPS, and forum.mastercoin.org could be made to point at the host (or mastercointalk.org, but I'm not sure who owns that domain -- mastercointalk.com is available).

I ask because I think it would really help the Mastercoin community evolve. For an example, Peercoin is another project that I follow. JustABitOfTime has done an amazing job so far in such a short period of time mobilizing community-driven PR. Just this past week, they have Peercoin being mentioned in CNBC, Forbes and the WSJ (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=341509.0).

If you look at the peercoin forums (http://peercointalk.org/), they have an entire group setup for Peercoin activism, across multiple media channels. I think a configuration like this is much more accessible to the community at large than a few Mastercoin threads on bitcointalk, or a Trello PM board.

Several of the folks around Mastercoin make a big point around benevolently "stealing" any features that Mastercoin competitors gain that could be useful. I think we should do the same when it comes to where ever another effort (whether it be another CC, or MSC competitor) is doing really well. And Peercoin is really kicking some ass with community organization and PR. Any feedback?
