I hate to say this, but I think that a message board format may come in handy to keep one community with separate groups/cliques

But ideally it would be great to have an email or RSS feature also... I want to be able to keep up with things going on but i don't want to have to visit a message board every day... right now we have multiple groups (languages, content, theory, node101, fireant, etc...)

I think that one space with divisions is better than multiple spaces... and it may be less intimidating for newbies...

but perhaps this is all a brilliant ploy to plug the new vlogmap forums... hmmm

anyway... those are my thoughts

Out of curiosity, I decided take a closer look at the use of this
Yahoo Group.  Here are the results...

The last 1,000 messages were analyzed from May 8, 2006 back to April
20, 2006 (18.5 days)...

Only 152 unique users posted (7% of the total 2,179 members).

Here are the top 50 users by number of posts...

The point of all this?  To validate my concerns...

It is my opinion that this group is very closed off from the rest of
the video blogging world.  Sure it is very tight-knit and friendly,
but the group seems to have hovered around the 50-250 participating
members since last year.  There must be a way to bridge the gap
between all the other vloggers.

Note: If you don't think the results are an accurate representation, I
can analyze more data, but I believe that the trend will be the same.
