I am rarely a poster but a frequent viewer. I would greatly prefer a forum to the list. I use a forum to indulge one of my other expensive hobbies (see http://forums.pelicanparts.com/1-porsche-technical-forums/). I find it to be a much more user-friendly format. Also, there may be some savings in that you can incorporate the classifieds into one of the forums. But don't take this the wrong way. I greatly appreciate this list and all the work that it takes to run it!

Recently, some of our subscribers have indicated that they would like to have a ?Forum? similar to ?cruisersforum? or ?sailnet? instead of an email list (like this one). PROS:1. Eliminate the costs related to the email list2. Follow a thread easier without having to read multiple emails.3. Easier to find past, archived messages and threads.4. Possible addition of public and private photo albums.5. Easily moderated by more than one person. Threads can be deleted and undesirable subscribers blocked.6. No more 20-30 emails a day. Visit the site at your convenience and view the latest topics since your last visit. CONS:1. Forum software runs from free to around $250 depending on additional enhancements.2. Might (???) require additional disk space and bandwidth on hosting site. ($$$$)3. Installation ? I?ve done it before and it does take some time. And a bit more time involved to get it tweeked to perfection. Bottom line ? would you rather have a FORUM or continue using this list? It does not matter to me.
