I'm not sure if it was that. I mean after nearly a week, we had only 5 members or so. And 3 of them were Dariush, Philosopher and me.
If it were what you said, people could join and ask us to change it. I myself thought it was too complicated and had to get simplified, but nobody even bothered to join to make things better. So, the whole thing died after just a few days.
I think it's better to just let the idea of a new IMF coming to fruition, die, since nobody is willing to go through the motions to get a website started, take care of said website (which would be extremely niche anyways) and stick with it for the long-haul.
Biggest issue any future Iranian-military-forum faces is population size. Let's be completely honest with ourselves here gentlemen. Those of use who are interested (wholeheartedly) in Iranian military related news and development number in the dozens as far as people "we know". As in, those we've seen posting every now and then or regularly. But the forum will never truly grow, just not enough people that are into it.
It's better off to stay here (i know it sucks here but it's better than nothing) rather than go try yet again and most likely fail.
Anyways..... Twitter, independent blogposts and PDF are enough for us to indulge in what brought us together in the first-place. Which is our mutual interest in Iran and the Iranian military.
