I maintain a forum for my wife. Some of here members wanted mail list functionality

repeated same ole questions as new users would, by default, be a member of the
forum first. They are much more likely to search for an answer there then to
search the existing archives. Most people join a list to find an answer to a
question, at least that is my impression. </span></font></p>

the already existing unoffical forums? Maybe you could collaborate you efforts
to improve what we have now.<br>
<br>
<a href="http://mythtvtalk.com/forum/">http://mythtvtalk.com/forum/</a><br>
<a href="http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/">http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/</a> -
Knoppmyth specific, but still has good info.<br>
<br>
I really don't think the MythTV community needs YASWBF (Yet Another Slow Web
Based Forum) to disseminate good info.<br>
<br>
BTW, I still don't understand the fascination with forums. Is it the avatars?
The rankings? The hideous animated gifs and mini-movies? If so, host them on
your own bandwidth, and place a TEXT link in your TEXT signature to them.<br>
