The only reason I lthrew this thread out was I checked out some other forums that were powered by the "Invision" and the "YaBB" engine and the format was incredibly well organized, effectively categorized, archived, very easy to navigate, search, isolate member posts, and directly contact members. I didn't know that there were existing web site based crx forums already around, but after Brandon mentioned that there were and when I did a quick search, I found the 1) http://crx.honda-perf.org/forum/index.shtml and 2) http://www.crxsi.com/resources/forum/CRX/ and I certainly didn't know there our email posts were archived until Henry sent out his post. Cool. I visited these sites and instantly realized that these "forum engines" weren't as well organized as Invision engines, especially when it comes to categorizing of topics. Everything seems to be just mashed together. On the other hand I see where Robert was getting when he mentioned the bandwidth and speed issues, along with cost and possibly advertising in order to have a fast site up. I also see where Brandon was referring to when he mentioned that these web based forums would attract twits, but then again, I thought, well... if twits wanted to get on the mail list they still can. Of course I am new at these forum things so I am sure there are other horror stories as well. Well, least we are all presented with choices in regards to crx resource help. At any rate, I enjoy being on this mail forum and seasons greetings to all fellow rexers.
