What do you guys think of acheron.org? Has it been a help to the scene over the years or a hindrance? What are your highlights of the site, or how has it helped you or your group?

I think it's a great help to the scene. The Internet is a big place and it's so easy for us all to become disconnected.. and what is a community if its members cannot communicate with each other?

i think it has definitely been a big help to the scene. without acheron acting as a sort of center of communications, the whole population of the scene would be running around, flailing their arms and babbling incoherent nonsense, just like, uh, lemmings. well. you know what i mean.

i think one of the biggest highlights of acheron is the addition of these discussion bases. it gives acheron a much-needed bbs feel. you can have the kickassingest scene articles or "nekkid scene chix0rs" pics in the photo gallery and the biggest, most up-to-date news, but nothing hits the spot like reading up on a good discussion in the message bases.

I don't have much to add to what's been expressed above, but I have to agree, because even reaffirmation can have some validity.

I don't like to think where the scene would be today without Acheron - to some degree it's picking up the slack left behind in the vacuum of the departure of BBS's and echomali networks (and in some cases - displaying of hirez and actual hypertext links - surpassing the capabilities of bbses) ... we'd be stuck with nothing but the IRC!

and maybe scenelink.

either way, I'm happy that we're not there 8)
