Hi, From my perspective, the forum came from users not from the board. We had years of the 'list being criticized as unfit to be on the internet, and a forum being touted as the solution. We're not limited to the current mailman 2 software. Let me know if you have a better solution. My preferences: open source, non-proprietary, free ability for users to choose their delivery format (html or text, pictures or not) web-archive which we own run under PBS domain name. There's the 'audience' problem, we've run a low bandwidth text maillist for many years, the current users are those who like that solution. Changing to anything else will upset more than it will please. I like groups.io the admin burden is much smaller. What I have against it, is that they want a lot of money to run it under your own domain. I can flick a switch and this will be a html 'list with pictures. But is anyone going to be unhappy when they get 100MB of pictures in their mailbox. When we did have pictures on the 'list, I got complaints that the size allowed (many MB) was too small. -- David Pilling http://www.davidpilling.com/ _______________________________________________ pbs mailing list pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net http://lists.pacificbulbsociety.net/cgi-bin/… Unsubscribe: <mailto:pbs-unsubscribe@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net> PBS Forum https://…
