Should we use Jeff Shaw’s forum idea of posting news or JHK’s PHP idea?

Please let us all know what you think so work can get started.

Actually, after reading Richard’s comments on this subject, my opinion is being swayed. I think that maybe we haven’t fully given the lugnet.gaming.starship option a fair look. At the least, it should be among the items on the vote you propose.

Pros for this third option: It would require only a single moderator. With FTX, posts could already include links or graphics. It would keep most of our non-email discussion in one easy-access place. Viewing threads or search features work nicely. It is in a format and interface that many of us have grown very familiar with. In character news posts have been done before without any known problems. The list might go on...

Cons against this third option: Some participants might not be Lugnet members and thus might have trouble posting (although some might argue this is not a difficult obstacle to overcome). The traffic on this newsgroup might become a bit busier (but I don’t think it is all that busy now, and it could be organized as Richard said with some sort of subject tags... maybe start the posts with “IC News:” or “SNN: ” or such).

...So, I am not placing a vote yet on this subject, but rather suggesting that we keep discussion open to bring up all possible options before voting...

(...) Very good points. Very, very good. Yes, we should keep the discussion open more, then. Vote closed :-D . -Dan (20 years ago, 11-Jan-04, to lugnet.gaming.starship, FTX)
