Southbendforum.com
was founded in August of 2003 as a means for citizens of the South Bend IN area
a chance to gather electronically and share thoughts, and commentary about local
issues. The site was taken over by new ownership in December of 2004 and is continuing
to be a source of information and commentary for the area, in addition to providing
residents as well as anyone with an interest in the greater South Bend area a
chance to discuss local topics.
Our
site is run by a small staff of non paid workers who devote time and resources
into providing an area where local residents can gather & sound off about
issues. We do not have a formal "office", and due to the"when time
permits" basis of our owners, staffers, and moderators, we can be a bit hard
to get a hold of.
The best means to contact us is via email, at webmaster
[at] southbendforum.com
Donations for site hosting is greatly appreciated.
