Is Max3D going to get it's own forum? Just that General Discussion is likely to get swamped with Max3D threads, otherwise.
Max3D forum
Miscellaneous Forums/General Discussion/Max3D forum yes.. it will
I think the Google Group is supposed to fulfill that task.

Yeah, to some extent. There will still be Max3D questions here though, I bet. Also, why move discussions of a BRL product away from this site? It is far better to have a dedicated forum here than anywhere else...

Question: to post in this forum user need to be 'registred user' (= they must buy something), right?
So if Max3d is open-source how can 'external' people access this forum?
1. having 2 forum is a waste of time (different is to have an external repository)
2. can BRL make some thread 'freely' accessible for external users?
Said this, I would like a 'Max 3d thread' on THIS forum (mainly because Max3d *SHOULD* be initially for BlitzMax)

Yes, I believe BRL can make forums accessible to anyone, not just registered users.
What about the extra traffic that this will cause?

They tried that before yonks ago. Every troll and his brother turned up and there were more flamewars in the open forum than there were in the members only Off-Topic forum.
You can still post on some forums here without being logged in, Amon.
When (or if?) BRL takes the decision to and where open and keep a forum, Brl should take too the decision about the 'documentation' of Max3d...a Wiki, an HTML static page, a .txt file!
