Hi!

Joseph (one of the "new" guys at last Tuesdays Meetup) has offered to create a
web-based discussion forum for VicLUG which he can create and host.

First: Thank you Joseph for coming on Tuesday!

Second: Thank you Joseph for the great offer.

Third: What does everybody else think?

The question: Should VicLUG use lugnet.org.ca.viclug or should we take Joseph up
on his kind offer?

and I can post collected reponses.]

My PERSONAL response (to avoid replying to my own post. :)

I personally like the idea of using a web board but find LUGNET to be fine (and
it has an option of receiving specific groups as email if you like.)

We would have more control over a local board but we would have less exposure
worldwide (which may be good or bad.)

The full features of LUGNET require a paid membership (which I keep meaning to
get) but you can post to it without being a paid member.

I would rather avoid more duplication and start using this forum regularly. (And
maybe I would get off my butt and become a LUGNET member and see if we can't
start creating a good VicLUG presence on LUGNET.)
