Me, I guess. I will be trying out a few more scripts this weekend... and will then narrow my choices down to two or three. Next, I will set up a test board for each and invite participants of this list who have expressed support for a board to look at them all. With their feedback I will choose which script to run. The next step will be asking a few people to donate their time as forum moderators. A board is not intended to replace the mailing lists but rather to act as a complement to it. My own experience has shown that many people enjoy the use of a message board; their popularity on the web proves it. These aren't just kids hanging out in forums dedicated to their favorite band or whatever... dslreports.com is an excellent example of a board at its finest with people from all age groups and walks of life participating. To those on-list who are interested in participating in the discussions or giving me a hand in moderating the forum, I say "welcome" and "thanks". Conversely, if boards aren't your cup of tea, or if your Internet access plan precludes your joining in, my regrets. I will have links to the test boards posted to the list sometime Sunday, 10/27. -- Regards, Don Zeigler * bringing you boring sigfiles for over 14 years * ...This sentence contradicts itself: no, wait, actually it doesn't. 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
