#32Be nice if they could fix the https if I'm going to be entering a password... https://forrst.com/ currently goes to an Apache 2 Test Page.

I just made an account... can't really say I see any compelling reason to recommend that others do so though.

In my opinion, if you're looking to network, it's worth it.
I look at it like an implicit dating site for programmers/designers; people are showcasing who they are & if you're interested, you can reach out.
It's very good community for getting feedback, IMO.

Would be really interested in an opinion from someone 'on the inside'. Seems cool from the outside, but probably just because it's a "selective" club

It's OK-ish but 1) it's rather hard to navigate or find things (maybe because I'm used to 'traditional' news-feed type of sites) and 2) I find it hard to 'network' since if you're thrown in there knowing nobody, how are you going to 'network'? You can 'like' (or 'follow' or whatever it's called) people, and then you have a distinct 'feed' where you can see the updates from those people. And of course you can 'comment' on people's posts, but in the end I'm not really seeing much in it.

I have logged in several times in the past year, posted comments, read posts. It is a focused community website with a bit of exclusivity due to invites.
The hype confuses me. I have asked other developers and they think the same... it's too basic at the moment. It's one of those websites that has potential, but we are still waiting for it to deliver.

That depends. I browse it 3-4 times a day and it's a great source of inspiration, links to news I've missed on Twitter and some new programming snippets. It's filled with CSS3 / HTML5 snippets lately so from a front-end POV it's a great place to learn / expand your knowledge.

#40My github account didn't let me in, but then again I only have one repo that I use to store my vim dotfiles and suchlike. So, job done on Forrst's part, I suppose.
I am a developer though, for my sins, and would appreciate a vote or two. Or, ideally, three.
