Re: New FIRST community website
No offense to chief, but it's starting to get dated*. It is an amazing resource, but it has grown beyond its designed purpose. Chief is kind of the nexus for all things FIRST. It isn't just a forum anymore. It is the #1 way that FIRSTers get their news about the program, how they interact with each other, how their concept of what FIRST is gets shaped, I could go on and on. The point being this site is the unofficial centre of FIRST. While other sites can/will be used as tools and resources, this is where people will flock.

I know absolutely nothing about how the site is/has/will be run, but why not update it to better fulfill its new growth? That being said I know almost nothing about web development or I would be first in line to help. Something I do know is there are tons of extremely talented webmasters out there in the FIRST community. Why not band together and make the unofficial centre of FIRST worthy of its place in our minds?

*By dated I don't mean looks or performance-wise, I mean definition and feature-wise.
