Google groups and to a lesser extent Yahoo groups provide nice mailing
list options which people can use as a web forum if they want. Both
are free. You can link to them from the website easily.
Forum software is cool but the standard forum software design/layout
doesn't excite me.
For two web forum examples in our community check, http://visforvoltage.org/
and http://elmoto.net/

Hi Everyone,
I am currently working on a list of changes to the FLEAA website for
the
next major update, which is planned for after BBB. One of the things
people
have asked about is a forum, an online message board for discussion
and
information. Currently, we are only using the email list for
communication,
but due to SPAM etc, we have had to block certain types of messages.
The
forum can be added to the website, but if people don't want to use
it, then
it really adds no value to the website. The FLEAA site currently has
photo
galleries, links and a download section members can use to post
materials
and information, but very few do.
So, for simplicity sake, there are two options that I'd like to get
everyone's input on.
1) Just keep the email list and not use a forum or:
2) Setup an online forum and the email list will only be used for
announcement.
Please take a moment and let me know which one you'd prefer. Thanks!
