That is, the G+ party.
For anyone not aware, the Google+ DCC RPG community is pretty active.

No offence but why go to Google+ to talk about and share information concerning DCC when you can do the same thing here?

I'm sure anyone using the G+ communities can chime in here, but I appreciate 2 key points:
1. Immediacy: For better or worse, the G+ communities *feel* more responsive than a traditional forum setting. For most anyone with a google account, you just go to the page and start typing. I also enjoy 'seeing' the faces of people who are responsible for shaping the community.
2. Outreach: The DCC RPG community is one of hundreds, nestled in among many, many popular G+ communities (OSR, RPGs, Roll20, Map-Making, etc...); this is good on several accounts--more publicity for DCC and a cross-polinization of ideas. It's also to easy keep my interests organized.
Hope that helps!

3) You can also organise and run DCC games on G+ hangouts.

4) It's easier to keep track of new posts and content with the unified G+ interface.

I do both; both forums and G+ serve their purposes admirably in different ways.
