On one hand: here! here!
There are some wonderful free and cheapware bulletin board products that
could run on the dmcnews.com site that would allow easy grouping of separate
topics.
The question, though, would be would everyone want to maintain the inbox
delivery/reply functionality? That is much more difficult, but again, not
impossible. It just depends on the dmcnews.com hosting. If you have your own
box anything is doable; if you are renting space then that's a big
difference.
On the other hand: hmmm.....
there is the overhead-- I don't know but I imagine the overhead effort would
be quite a bit more than what the moderators go through now-- and that's not
counting the development and system administrative efforts.
I wouldn't mind using my skills for some of this effort-- but it would get
old and very tiresome. I love that kind of work but I already have a job and
I do like to get out and drive the car once in a while. :-)
It would really need to be a funded effort, and I don't see a subscription
service being profitable or large in numbers.

But then again... to get rid of the ads....
