I think the Microchip PIC forum is the exception that proves the rule. Otherwise, web forums without an email component almost always wither and die. Mail lists that also include a web component such as PIClist seem to work pretty well. Indeed, last time I looked the PIClist web component was pretty horrible, but that has to be one of the most long-lived forums ever, and it is still very active. It got off to a slow start in 1994 and still averages over 30 posts per day. Although Yahoo groups provide a simple way to combine web and email, their success seems pretty mixed. Some work pretty well, but I bet there are hundreds of Yahoo groups that haven't seen a post in a year. --McD ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Achieve unprecedented app performance and reliability What every C/C++ and Fortran developer should know.
