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.
