Hello friends,
I was discussing with Marc about the idea of trying to generate interest on the English-speaking side of this forum again. The French side is so wonderful, and has such a diverse range of topics, experienced people, etc... The idea of having an agenda-free English speaking forum focusing on absinthe, its antiques, events, and history would be a wonderful benefit to this site. I am slowly learning French, and will eventually be more brave posting in French, but I also think expanding the English forum would be a good thing as well. The opportunity to welcome sincere and interested people can only benefit the world of absinthe, expand awareness and education, and be a good thing for all! I know many in the French forum also speak, read and write in English, and your experience is a great asset....I would hope you would join in when possible! So my questions to you: Do you feel it is worth it? Do you have the time and/or interest? If yes, how do we spread the word and let people know? If this were to grow, it would be very important to keep in the same tone and concept as the French forum, and I am sensitive to how important this is! I was just wondering what people thought. I am thankful for the few new friends in France I have made, and am so looking forward to meeting them and more of you in Pontarlier in October! Best, Scott -------------------- Ma femme déteste l'absinthe. Plus pour moi!

Is Absomphe still alive?
He must be... something like... 153 years old now. Absinthe makes the life longer indeed!

As long as not too much unwanted baggage from the U.S. comes along. I enjoy the purity of topic here along with the occasional social topics and would not want to see what I saw at the WS. |

J'ai pensé que c'était une bonne idée, comme ce forum est consacré à l'histoire et aux antiquités d'absinthe dans une façon respectueuse et de soutien. Il y a l'anglais parlant les collectionneurs qui ont besoin de cette atmosphère positive. Je demandais seulement des avis, comme j'admire le forum musee tellement.

Marc can attest, before the forum was transferred to museeabsinthe.com/forums it was oxygenee.com/forums when it began (about 7 years ago) - where discussion in English wasn't too uncommon.
I think it would be fun.

If you ever have traffic enough to warrant a Moderator to be assigned to the "The Virtual Absinthe Museum - English Forum" - I volunteer.
Cheers, Marc.

C'est un peu un deuxième forum, à part, on oblige personne à le lire, ça ne change rien à la partie française qui continura d'exister grace à ses participants qui font sa richesse et sa conviialité. Et il ne faut pas oublier que ce forum du Musée était surtout anglophone à la base, les anciens membres sont toujours dans le coin, donc il faut leur laisser un endroit à eux, il n'interfère pas avec le forum français, c'est juste l'ambiance qui sera la même dans les 2 parties  Citation (Grim @ Apr 23 2011, 07:56 PM) Marc can attest, before the forum was transferred to museeabsinthe.com/forums it was oxygenee.com/forums when it began (about 7 years ago) - where discussion in English wasn't too uncommon. You're absolutely right Grim, it was originally an english speaking forum, one can still read the old posts in the archives. -------------------- "Boire une absinthe, c’est corriger l’eau vertement."
