Request to restart the "Draft" forum.
DU used to have a "Draft" forum, but it went away a bit ago. I would like it restarted so we can keep spreading and sharing information in 1 handy place, just in case things go this way. I am not sure how to ask for this so am doing so here. Anyone else want to join in?

I found how to ask for a DU group, but was hoping that since this had been up in the past, that if enough of us asked they could simply restart it. Please let me know if I'm wrong and will get on whatever needs doing. Thank you.

2. The way it looks to me
I think it will soon be all over this GD forum. Probably so much so, the admins are gonna wish they listened to you.

3. Yeah, we used to have a bunch of resources all together there.
Going to be lots of talk for a bit, and nice to be prepared.

14. I didn't bookmark them all because I didn't think it would be removed.
I figured I could go to the forum and find things, so they now are gone.

13. yes, please ...kick
Speaking as someone with a skill that would fall under a "skills draft", I definitely request that we get the draft forum back up as a central location for discussion.

Thank you
