yeah, forums suck :>  I like Rob's idea of popping into #scotlug on
irc.freenode.net - it's a good melting pot, and there will definitely be
more activity than if there were a #falkirklug channel with two people and
ChanServ in it not saying anything to each other (yes, you, #edlug, you know
who you are).  The danger with that is that no-one will go into a
#falkirklug channel eventually because everyone will stay in #scotlug :)

Still, nice to see people are alive!  Falkirk is hella closer to Cumbernauld
for me than glesga or embra, and I can think of a couple of people I can
drag to any potential meetings along to help boost numbers too.
