[DMCForum] Re: Moderation

["ryanpwright" <yahoo1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I prefer a web based forum, ala vBulletin, for this type of
conversation. I would GLADLY make one available free of charge to this
group if everyone wanted to move over. Quite frankly Yahoo's web
interface sucks. Real forums make threading and participation so much
easier.

Unfortunately I think people like to do everything from an email
account, which most decent online BBS software doesn't support.

Is there enough interest in a fully featured web based system? Does
someone want to start a poll, or are we all happy here?
