To: [email protected] If most people are using this via email, then a web forum doesn't make sense. If most people were using the web site and NOT the email then it might make sense. Having said that you should check out this review of the forums I did a while back: http://www.editgrid.com/user/peaboy/Sailing_Forum_Reviews Another note of interest is that I have been working with the SSCA to upgrade their forums to PHPBB3 which would support subscribing to individual forums as well as threads which are MUST haves for any decent web forum that really has email users. -patrick -------- s/v Deep Playa | Pearson 424 #152 | http://www.DeepPlaya.com Patrick's Sailing Blog | http://www.shipsrecord.com/blogs/patrick --- In [email protected], "Rob - Captain's & Admiral's Cafe owner" <flye...@...> wrote: > > Hi. > > I have been giving some thought, for quite some time, to a forum > format.
