Who said Sowal Forum was dead? This post says NO.
With a very enlighting response . #doughnutcushion

The forum is what the community makes it which is why it changes with the times always and never dies. It is what people need it to be, no more and no less. It is about community. It is also celebrating 10 years this year! Happy Birthday!!! #SoWalCommunityForum
