Why are the FontLab forums hosted by Microsoft?

I say Typophile should have a dedicated FontLab forum.

Many years ago FontLab took advantage of the free “MSN Communites” service provided by Microsoft, they could have taken advantage of other free forum services provided by Yahoo or some other player. Likely Adam and Yuri’s experience with the VOLT community led them to pick MSN.

I think FontLab were beta’ing their own hosted forum, but a move to Typophile might be a good idea - less advertising, but perhaps slower performance and less up-time?

Ooh, ouch. Slower performance and less up-time... Those days are in the, knock on laminate, past. They’d be welcome here.

You’re welcome to start your own, unofficial version here.

Sorry :-(

Maybe it’s my browser and connection.
