2 - About the WWII Forums


What is ww2f.com?


The short answer in that it is a discussion board and research tool dedicated to the Second World War.

The long answer is that it is a project oriented Second World War research and discussion community. It is a convergence of people with a similar interest in military history, many of whom are working toward some goal within the field of World War Two. The members here include authors, researchers, game designers, hobbyists, militaria collectors, living historians, veterans, students, teachers, gamers and many others. There are members from all over the globe, representing each continent and many nations. The site was designed to be a nexus for productive research, and by becoming a member you can help out with some of the work going on, or simply sit back and discuss your preferred topic of iterest, the choice is yours.

In terms of function, the WWII Forums fills two roles.

First, it is the dedicated discussion area for the WWII Network. As such, it provides a place to discuss the activities within the WWII Network and contact point to members who are involved in some form of Second World War related undertaking. The project you are working on might just be as simple as an essay for class, as complex as a study of bomber formations throughout the war, as light as the mp40 Project, or as profound as a search for a missing relative. All projects are taken seriously with the goal of producing significant results.

Second, the WWII Forums is designed to be a stand-alone nexus for communication, a website that is worth visiting on it's own merits. Unlike most websites where the content is supplied by the Webmaster or a limited pool of contributors, all members create the content on the WWII Forums. With this in mind, we will always strive to provide an on-line environment that is civil, reliable and user friendly.

We encourage all members to become involved in some type of endeavor, but this is by no means mandatory. You need not be working on a project to be a member here. Most members join the WWII Forums purely for discussion, and most members are not involved in a project.

Who is behind all this?


Every member of the forums is a major contributor to the environment that we call the WWII Forums, however, Otto is the WWII Forums founder, webmaster and administrator.
