Randy,
House of Fusion uses a custom system that has evolved over the years.
It would be rather easy for someone to write their own but as others
have said, there are pre-built systems that have the same basic
features which would cost less than writing something from scratch or
even from
The client doesn't know...they want the pros/cons.
From what you've said, I'm inferring that they will mostly have 'normal'
people using their systems.
The main pro of mailing lists is that they're convenient for busy techies.

I don't see why anyone would have a problem using listserves...
And that's part of the reason why there's such a significant divide.
Technical people are fine with mailing lists; they understand them and can
generally setup their email client in a suitable way, and they don't get what's
wrong
A lot of mailservers have list support built in. Users manage the
entire process (subscribe, post, unsubscribe etc) via email. There's
often no web based interface though.
I'm running my own mailinglist via a hosted service which I can
recommend:

Find out *specifically* what your client wants (feature-wise), and then
investigate the technology that best matches that.

Randy,
Many users hate getting extra email. I have two message-based sites each with
1300+ users and only 80 subscribers on one and 200 on the other. The rest
prefer to go to the site at their liesure and read all new posts since their
last login. I send them a reminder every couple of
Client has requested listserves be implemented on the CF site I created.
1) Are there off the shelf solutions available?
2) Should I steer them toward a message board instead? (more powerful?
flexible?)
(They would far prefer it be available in the site so a third-site site would
be out.
A listserver is more interactive as it gets the messages directly to
the participants rather than forcing them to go to a site for content.
A forums/message board has the advantage of search engine exposure
that can gather new members. A combo system (like we have here) does
both and should be

Why not suggest Google Groups? That's about as off-the-shelf as you can get.

I remember a thread about CF message boards awhile back and thought
that I had saved the information. I can't find it in the google
search either. So...
Can anyone recommend some easy-to-setup reasonably featured
licensable message-board software?
thanks!

CFMBB is in development right now... being early in the development it's
probably not what you're looking for, but might be worth a look at

well, in searching my email I came up with some of the threads that I've seen
in the past about Message Boards. I don't know why they don't come up in the
Google Search on the houseoffusion site.

Hello all,
I know ASP is a bit off topic on this list but I figured I would ask
since many people here are also familiar with ASP.
A client of ours is looking for a forum solution built in ASP. I am
looking for some recommendations ranging from the most simpler / free to
the most complex feature
Definately go with SNITZ forums. They are by far the best ASP based forum
system I've seen.

Hello all,
I know ASP
I'm also looking for a good web-based Message Board application to run under
CF.
I've looked at the products mentioned so far and they all seem to require NT
SQL Server or MS Access. Any UNIX/Oracle products out there?
Thanks,
Kevin Carlson
