The biggest reason would be the purpose of the forum gateway in the first place, which is that some people prefer the forum interface in a community like this one. I know that some of you think that I only want to do this to increase traffic to my site and make money. Anyone that actually knows me would know that this is silly for a few reasons. The first of which is that the site is not a money maker. I know you see a few banners here and there but they barely pay the monthly costs on the site and don't really make me any money. The second reason is that I really am a pretty altruistic guy who does this to help the backup community. Finally, the read only method (if I could make it work) would get me just as many pageviews without all the hassle. But oddly enough, I believe that the two-way gateway is a good thing if we can just work out our differences. +---------------------------------------------------------------------- |This was sent by [email protected] via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to [email protected]. +---------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Register Now for Creativity and Technology (CaT), June 3rd, NYC.
