Re: [FRIAM] Discussion Boards

AVOID proboards.com

They take down fora without any warning or reason under their infamous
clause 25(a) and they never ever restore a board, so all your work just
vanishes.

Re: [FRIAM] Discussion Boards

[Nick Thompson]

Thanks, everybody.  I will look into all of these.  I used GG for several 
years, but they seemed to stop supporting it, and I am surprised to learn that 
it still exists.  Sounds like nobody has conquered the chronology problem.  I 
spent one entire month two years ago trying to write a macro in Word that would 
reorder posts in chronological order, but never succeeded.  One of the worst 
impediments was my own practice of “larding” other people’s posts.  

 

Thanks again, everybody,

Nick a few others: I haven't used some.  they say they're free.so if they
suck no bigy.

http://www.zetaboards.com/

https://www.proboards.com/

https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-best-free-hosted-forum-service


Oh here we go! see if one of these is one you enjoy using. I haven't used
some of them. A while back I briefly messed around some with Forumotion. I
have no idea what it's like now. At that time it had some super fun colors
and just fun to mess around with. I simply don't know what it's like now or
if it's still free.

lol if nothing else nick you can safely say: egad. I have more options than
I know what to do with.

Re: [FRIAM] Discussion Boards

I haven't created a group on it, but I do like using Google Groups.
The list of threads is reverse chronological order, but within a
thread is ascending by date. You have to have a Google account, but
signup is free. I've been a Google fan since before it got to be the
new 800 pound gorilla.

Dear Colleagues, 

 

I am about to be exiled again to the Mosquito Infested Bog, this time for a
whole six months.  In an effort to retain my sanity, I am thinking of
starting an online reading group on Peirce or related topics with a view to
future collaborative writing.   Does anybody know of an internet discussion
utility which faithfully preserves the ORDER of communication?  This would
mean at least that the most recent communications on each thread would  be
at the bottom of the list.

 

Thanks for any suggestions.
