I like message boards because you have a more visual approach to the various threads going on; I also like them because they remind me of the old BBS forums. :-) My copy of phpbb isn't doing much -- I could stick up a TB board and see what happens. As far as moderation, by their very nature message boards are rather more freewheeling than a more-ordered mailing list, instead being much like newsgroups. In that spirit not much moderation would be needed unless a flame war broke out. -- Regards, Don Zeigler * bringing you boring sigfiles for over 14 years * ...I will meet you at the corner of Walk and Don't Walk. www.donzeigler.com | This message brought to you by The Bat v1.61 ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.61 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
