'Be careful with this one! You'll generally find that some people will tell you "I don't like feature X... You don't need to be wasting your time with nitpickers.'
True enough, but I've picked a few people that from their past posts, don't seem to be of that variety.
'Why do you need a forum?'
Heh - you're not a people person are you? Myself, if a game is not of the 'casual' variety, I expect a game's website to include a place for feedback - a forum - and part of my decision in whether to buy a game is to see what the users are saying on the forum. Also it may be of use to the beta testers.
'Try not to host it on Geocities or somewhere similarly bad.' yep - have paid for proper hosting.
'Molebox is fine. However I got reports of random crashes under Windows98 ' I've heard that too - but not too concerned about Win98 users.
'but so can the likes of Armadillo'
I haven't checked Armadillo out - I'll do so.
As for Plimus, I'll check out that thread on Indiegamer and also check out BMT. Thanks for the suggestions
