Hi there. After having decided that a web forum might be the best way for the Dozenal Society of Great Britain (DSGB) and The Dozenal Society of America (DSA) to reach a wider audience, I offered to set this forum up.

You don't have to be a member of either organisation, or even necessarily interested in number bases (altho I'm not sure how you would end up here if that were so), to take part in this board. Just so long as you cleave to the rules and hopefully have fun, that is all that's needed. :)

Please take time to note the forum rules. Really they are commonsense.


So, we'll see if this forum flies or not. It was set up to-day, the 2nd August 2005. The goal is to build a community where we can all discuss any aspect of number bases, or any related issue, as well as talk generally (in the "OffTopic" forums). It is my hope, and that of Shaun Ferguson (DSGB) and Gene Zirkel (DSA), that this forum might be another outlet for discussion on these topics of mutual interest, and that we might build a solid community where folks of all nations may discuss and exchange ideas, and just talk generally.


If you have any issues, enquiries, problems, suggestions, and so on, please do e-mail or Private Message me or a member of the moderating team.


Hope your stay is fun and that together we can build a great forum. :)

Bryan Parry
