Well there's a very low success rate in starting any kind of forum in any language. It's just way easier to start a forum than to continually stoke it, and there are lots of things competing for our attention. I think you'll be surprised, though. Things have changed a lot in Lojbanistan lately. There was that wave that came in from XKCD such as I believe our dear friend .cmacis., but then more recently there's been an even larger wave of successful students due to the new method and culture of teaching that's developed on IRC thanks to the great work of teachers like la .kribacr. and la .lindar. and la xalbo. And while I'm biased of course towards my own idea, I do think it's a good strategy for avoiding some of the main ways that conversations in Lojban are derailed, and some people do seem to agree. We already have 9 members and 9 messages! So we're off to a good start. :) mi'e la stela selckiku mu'o --=20 You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "= lojban" group.
