Subj : Re: fsxNet Feedback (Echomail) To : Avon From : Vk3jed Date : Sun May 16 2021 09:53 pm Av> New echomail areas - here's some ideas for feedback based on what you Av> have told me. I have not fleshed out the correct descriptions yet but Av> hopefully you get the gist of what I am thinking. Do I have these Av> mostly correct? What is missing from this list? Are some a bad idea and Av> should not be setup? Let me know your thoughts. Av> FSX_GAMING - From action, adventure and role-playing, to simulations, Av> strategy, sports and puzzles games. Topics include MUDs to first-person Av> shooters, real-time strategy to massively multiplayer online games and Av> more. Xbox vs PlayStation vs Nintendo. Anything gaming related is Av> on-topic here. Not one I'd use myself, but one I can see being quite popular. :) Av> FSX_SPACE - If it's space or astronomy related you've come to the right Av> place. Topics include space industry activities (SpaceX, NASA, Blue Av> Origin, Rocket Labs etc.) discussions about satellites, interplanetary Av> missions, the science of space travel and more. Count me in. :) Av> FSX_SPORTS - Do you like sport? Some of us play it while the rest of us Av> surf the TV to watch it. No matter how you do sport, any discussion Av> about it is on topic here. From Baseball to Basketball, Cricket to Av> Golf, Diving to Darts, Hunting, Fishing, Tennis, Motorsport and even Av> Dodgeball... talking sport just got easier. Just remember those 5Ds - Av> dodge, duck, dip, dive and... I'm in, as a participant. Actually, I'm in Queensland, on my way to Cairns for the Great Barrier Reef Masters Games. :) Av> Next up I am not sure if it's best to set up a single echo or multiple Av> echos for streaming platforms like Disney+, Amazon, Netflix etc. and Av> the shows they carry? Or do we opt to split things out a little more Av> like a Star Wars, Star Trek and Marvel (MCU) echo etc. Thoughts? This has the potential to balloon into a heap of echos. Could always start out with a DOVE-Net style "FSX_ENTERTAINMENT"or "FSX_MOVIESTV"" and see where things develop from there. Av> If we split them out along those lines, I'd suggest something like Av> this.. Av> FSX_MARVEL_DC - Captain America, Thor, Doctor Strange, the Marvel Av> Cinematic Universe (MCU) keep on expanding while Batman, Wonder Woman Av> and Aquaman continue to shine in the DC Universe (DCU). Discuss your Av> favourite characters, films, comics, theories, spoilers here. Is Steve Av> Rodgers alive and living on the Moon? Which actor played Batman the Av> best? I am Groot. Av> FSX_TREK - Archer, Kirk, Picard. so many captains so many ships. Which Av> Trek rules them all? Original Star Trek, TNG, what about the new Kelvin Av> timeline. Strap in, we're about to discuss, ships, episodes, actors and Av> more. things may get bumpy as we hit warp 9! Tribbles not included. Av> FSX_STARWARS - This is the echo you have been looking for. If you know Av> your Leia from your Lando you've come to the right Cantina! From the Av> original trilogy to the latest Disney offerings, we discuss it all. Av> Join us, but check your lightsaber at the door - it makes the Wookie Av> nervous. Av> FSX_MOVIES - Seen a movie, old or new. Did it bark like a dog or make Av> you want to watch it another 10 times? Post your reviews, suggestions Av> to watch and more here. If it's Starwars, DC, MCU or Trek we have other Av> echomail areas just for you. For anything else. Have at it! Av> Other ideas include... Av> FSX_RETRO - Retro computing and any old tech discussions. From early Av> computer hardware and software, calculators, watches and more. if you Av> have collected it, use it, need it fixed tell us about it here. Av> FSX_MOTORS - Petrol, diesel, electric - if it's got a motor in it let's Av> discuss it here. From cars and trains to boats, planes and bikes, Av> fsxNet Motors is open for business. Av> FSX_DIY - Who needs a professional when you an do it yourself! Av> Discussions about all things DIY and how best to do them so that at end Av> of the day your significant other is still smiling.
