The time has come. Or I should say, is coming soon.

Twenty years ago on April 23rd 2006, I took delivery of my beautiful MKIII, ol' 5369. In honor of that auspicious occasion, I am shooting for that day to be the launch of public testing of The Factory Five Forum, version 2.0.

The Factory Five Forum version 2.0 is a reimagining of what can be the most impactful tool for our unique community. This is not just "Forum Software", this is completely new, modern experience designed from the ground up for Factory Five builders and dreamers. It uses the latest tech and will feel very familiar the both the traditional forum crowd, as well as newer user experiences like Facebook and Instagram.

I've been a member of this community for 20+ years. I built and have run this forum for 15+ years. Moreover, I am a software developer with over 30 years with everything from startups to very large public entities. I've never been as proud to present something new as I am this new "thing" to our community.

I hope you LOVE it, and I'm ready for the comments. I'll be posting more teasers soon. All the features I post will be working code, not a mockup.
