Participation in the Fandom
Like fellow story editor Larry DiTillio, Mr. Forward took to posting to newsgroup alt.toys.transformers, then the central hub of online fandom. Though he was not as frequent a poster as Mr. DiTillio, Mr. Forward's posts would likewise reveal tidbits of backstory explanation, insight into the creative process behind the show, and some of the real-world intrusions into the writers' would-be plans.
Unfortunately for the fans, Mr. Forward was compelled to shut down his account in mid-1998, in the wake of an individual posting fake messages in his name on a web site.<ref>A last post from Beastbob1.</ref>
