Is it not possible to have a forum + email list ? I mean instead of storing the archives like archives if they can be pushed to a forum (which I guess are easily indexed in search engines)?
Offline mailing is any day convenient for me rather than having to logon to a forum and wait for a page to load for each message posted before deciding on whether to reply or not. However, if messages are stored in a forum on the web, then it definitely gives more exposure to ILUGD. Infact most of the Linux queries I have had got resolved before reaching ILUGD, because there are many Linux forums online and someone always has had the same problem and even more interestingly some one else also had a solution! BTW... are there any secure forums available ? phpBB/wwwboard/yabbse etc are so buggy they wont last a month! Exposure is good but having exposure through a website that gets hacked every 4-5 days(or hours in case of phpbb) is not that attractive. -Amit > I think that a Forum is a great idea...much easier to navigate and reference > older threads to some of the common problems and questions.....that are put > forward by members.
