I was checking out Servo Magazine’s website the other day when low-and-behold I came across their web forums. I was very surprised to see that it’s actually pretty active. This surprises me because in the 6 years that I’ve been running this website, I’ve never seen a successful web forum relating to robotics. The community seems much more focused on local clubs and various e-mail lists.

Is this a sign that the community is becoming more "global" and less region specific?

 Ok, I’ll retract some of my words. The Parallax forums are also very active.
