Announcement of the NetLogo Forum

Hello NetLogo users!

We are glad to announce the NetLogo forum (https://forum.netlogo.org) as part of our National Science Foundation-sponsored effort to build up the NetLogo user community. We hope the forum will become a hub for our open-source community. To get started, read this getting started post.

Please let us know if you have any questions or problems accessing or using the forum. You can either reply to this thread, post in the forum in the Meta Discussion category, or send an email to [email protected].

Reasons for the forum if you are a netlogo-users member

The new forum keeps most of features of the netlogo-users email list intact. For example, you can still reply to posts through email if you turn on “mailing list mode” (see this post). You will still receive email digests, and you can subscribe to the whole forum or parts of it. In addition, it provides extra features. For example, it has built-in multilingual support: you can now post in any preferred language, as the forum will automatically detect the language and provide a translation when needed. It also has nicer support for embedding NetLogo code.

Another reason for this change: a few weeks ago, Google Groups briefly banned the netlogo-users group for no obvious reason. Switching to a forum hosted by the NetLogo team would ensure long-term availability and stability. That said, we will continue to support the netlogo-users group for the forseeable future.
