Campaign Specific Forum or Messageboard

It would be nice to have a campaign specific forum or messageboard that would allow players and GM to communicate outside of the chat.
If you go to your Campaign Details page (click the "View Details" link on any campaign in your campaigns listing when you first log in) there is a place for "Comments". You can communicated with the people involved in the campaign there, and they will receive a notification (although not currently an email) whenever anyone comments. It's not a full-fledged forum or anything, but it can be useful for discussing things "outside of the game." There have already been a couple of suggestion threads to expand it further that we're considering, as well.
I hope one of those suggestions you are considering is to add email notifications to the Campaign Discussion. I feel that would be a very nice addition to the impressive tool you've put together.
I prefer to use google+ for outside communication. It's easier to talk to everyone at the same time. The campaign page comments are difficult for me to read since they're ordered newest to oldest instead of oldest to newest.
The new campaign forum is wonderful, but will there be an option to get email notifications of posts like in the general forums "Follow Topic'? That would be really helpful, and I don't see it yet...
Jonathan, I do as well, but some people like everything housed in one location ...... which makes sense to have a cmpaign forum, and hereby a way to add notifications (say GM is sick and needs to cancel!)
@Hero Everyone in the campaign receives a notification for each new post in the Campaign forums (basically everyone follows all topics for any campaign they're in). Depending on their settings, they'll receive an email either once per day with a summary or right away for each post.
Ah, thank you Riley D.! Is it likely to be a future feature to selectively notify some players and not others in the case where a GM is using a forum topic for a sub group of players? I suppose I should post that in suggestions...
Oh wait, this IS suggestions! So, my suggestion: "....a future feature to selectively notify some players and not others in the case where a GM is using a forum topic for a sub group of players...". :-)
