Hello Robert, I can remember actually doing this idea about 7 years ago. I had a complete WiTango site with a message board and a component zone. The idea was great in the beginning, then it fizzled away.
You'd also have to get authorization from With Enterprises to do a site like this using the WiTango name. Otherwise it'll be an unauthorized WiTango site and discredited by With. Daniel Richardy in Germany had a similar setup, but all that went by the wayside when With canned the distributors. I feel that a message board should have been one of the first things that With did when they took over the product. Put it on a different domain, and it would also boost search engine ranking. The other problem is moderation. With would want to moderate your board, or someone approved by them would moderate it. Believe it or not, there would be certain things that you couldn't say about the product without With's consent. Personally, I don't think they had the resources available to moderate such a board, and the WiTango talk list is much easier to control, and there's no risk of bots and hacks. The board would have to be monitored constantly, and this alone would be a full time job. In all honesty, I think it's a little late to be putting up a board.

Looking at Bill's request, made me want to suggest. Technically feature requests are supposed to go to the witango site, but I think we all feel like nothing happens to them, this isn't a b*tch session, so we will leave it at that. So we post here, and everyone reads them, and we hope by more responses witango may see and make more of a priority, but the nature of the list, they also end up in oblivion. There there was the other night, ben and I were building a cache system, and were looking at serverstatus memory values, and they don't seem right. We both remembered this being discussed on the list sometime ago, but who knows when, and the witango list search works most of the time, but not all, and cumbersome. This list has become a great and manageable (not to big) community of developers that help each other out, and I enjoy it, as you all probably do too. There has been talk of building a more bulletin board like community, but who is going to write it, and is it going to be as good as something like VBulletin? I would be willing to donate a vbulletin license, and put it on my server farm. We could have sections, and stickys for important stuff. You can subscribe to a thread you want, ignore others, attache sample files, click "NEW POSTS" and just see new posts since your last visit, send private messages, the list is endless. VBulletin is my favorite, from using it with other communities. I would also like to have OFF TOPIC section, and sections for porting code to and from other technologies, like .net, php, and coldfusion. I don't have any problem NOT being the sole admin, and would be happy to let others do that. More neutral people like Scott would be a good choice. Let me know what you think, this mail list thing is not the best method. Just think, instant search, threads on important aspects of witango, code porting help to and from, stickys of stuff that get asked all the time. Let me know what you think. -- Robert Garcia President - BigHead Technology VP Application Development - eventpix.com 13653 West Park Dr Magalia, Ca 95954 ph: 530.645.4040 x222 fax: 530.645.4040 [EMAIL PROTECTED] - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://bighead.net/ - http://eventpix.com/ ________________________________________________________________________ TO UNSUBSCRIBE: Go to http://www.witango.com/developer/maillist.taf ________________________________________________________________________ TO UNSUBSCRIBE: Go to http://www.witango.com/developer/maillist.taf
