Since there's still not a news article on it and nobody else has posted anything, but I think it's something that definitely should be discussed, might as well start one...
So this weekend at Power Morphicon, Saban Brands announced the creation of Ranger Nation, what I've seen described as a one-stop shop forum for all Power Rangers news, reviews, galleries, discussions, and more. What's everyone's thoughts on this announcement? ---- Have certainly seen some pretty strong opinions against this in my brief perusal of Twitter immediately following it, but I'm not seeing it as too bad of a thing. Forums are sort of a dying breed, but fan-run ones will still always have their niche. This new official one probably will be heavily moderated and controlled, but that's where others will fill the gaps. It can't possibly spell the end of them. Heck, my older biggest interest, LEGO, has long had an official forum and yet there are numerous fansites that are still incredibly popular (and during last year's revival of BIONICLE they even utilized these fansites to host a massive officially sanctioned contest, recognizing their importance to their fans). You go to wherever the type of discussion you want to have is at and that seems totally fine to me.

Sounds possibly interesting. Though outside of what you're saying, and the Ranger Nation placeholder page, I can't seem to find any info on the announcement. Got a link you can share?
As for this forum not reporting on the news, that shouldn't be surprising. This "Ranger Nation" is possible competition. I mean, I can't blame them, but at the same time I think it would have been cool of them to have reported on it. That said, the Ninja Steel toys never got a front page article either, so it wouldn't surprise me if, in the chaos of PMC, they missed some things. These conventions are never easy on the people who go to report news and info back to us.

My experience with those type of sites is that they have heavily moderatted so if you say something they don't like, it isn an instant ban.

I'm sure it will be nice for the show's younger fans. Anyone who's been around for awhile probably already has an account at this forum, HJU, RangerBoard, and/or some other site.

Well, it can't possibly wind up worse than the LAST official board I was part of (GOUF) did.

As long as this place is around, I'm happy here. It'll probably be good for official reveals and the like, but the community here is good as is.

I like the community here and being able tot talk about other things, so I see no reason to use it. Plus, this place covers Rider, so this is where I'll go to discuss Rider whenever I watch it.

Eh in my experience most "official" forums are terrible.
