Lou, It has been discussed before. I've offered to host it at http://www.mattreinfeldt.com/forums/ (or under any other URL/domain people want... i.e. http://www.arslist.org/forums/ ;-) ), but general concensus has been to keep it as a mailing list.
Personally, I prefer forum format, just because it is on the web and easily searched (and a few other reasons...). However, Dan started this thing, and the ultimate ruling needs to come from him.... (of course, I can always try to twist his arm every once and a while!). Enjoy, Matt Reinfeldt PS- on a total side note, today is my 2nd day with TuringSMI, for those of you interested. :) wooot! -----Original Message----- From: LAU, DARREN (ASI) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, January 16, 2007 1:13 PM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Re: ARS List Email is a Goldmine - How to Index Just curious but has there ever been any thought on converting arslist into a forum like vbulletin? -----Original Message----- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Daniel Bloom Sent: Friday, January 12, 2007 9:24 AM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Re: ARS List Email is a Goldmine - How to Index The last 3 years are there. The usefulness of more is debatable. For most purposes this should suffice. (and I agree searching it isn't always the best but good enough for me most of the time). When I can secure funding to complete and properly house it, there is an effort underway for a more comprehensive searchable database. ...
