First of all, could there be such a thing?
The ARE Forum is up again. But a lot of you were scrambling for an alternative when ARE Forum was down. Hopefully this horrible online event helped some better communicate in their office. Maybe it helped build more tolerance for one another in our common struggle to pass the architect registration exam. Shoot, maybe a few of you formed a freaking study group already!
Still most are less interested in why the ARE Forum went down and more interested in it being up. I had no idea when the forum would return. So instead I did a common Google search, and came across some alternatives. They may not have the critical mass of participants the ARE Forum has and technically the posting method may be different. But with enough participation and adjustment you may find some ARE assistance using these ARE Forum alternatives.
- ARE Help (Friendfeed)
- Architecture Registration Exam Group (Facebook)
- ARE Forum Archive You can ONLY view old posts. You cannot post or edit.
- PPI Architecture Exam Forum
Please leave a comment if you know of any other alternatives where people can post and receive a response regarding the architect registration exam. Let’s have those alternatives ready in case the forum goes down again.
