I'm an admin for a lot of groups. Those groups are run on Yahoo, Google, as well as some that are run on private mailman machines. The question keeps coming up... what is the alternative? > Well, I understand the need for more "social" (for want of better word) > communication platform than e-mail. For me, this is Twister: > http://twister.net.co/ This looks very interesting. Thank you, i will have to look into it. But, back to the question: How/where can someone run a simple (ignoring the sign-up required by Yahoo/Google/etc.), public, free (both ways, because paying would require identification) forum, allowing for anonymous posts (but not allowing it to be overrun by trolls), that has a simple searchable (and findable - as in searched by Google, Yahoo, etc.) archive? You still have to trust a privately run forum. Trust, as in, will it be censored, altered, still there after the volunteer gets tired of it, etc.? In other words, if you want a private discussion group about Privacy, then yes, keep it small and secret... somehow. But if you want a public discussion, what are the alternatives to Google/Yahoo/etc.? -- eden
