there that's fast, easy, uses their resources instead of your own (or whoever
hosts it for ya) for free and you deal with the crappy ads. I've got one group
right now that's got the dreaded Yahoo! Glitch and it's all screwed up. But,
I move it - I'll lose new folks without pulling the 'pointer' trick at
the least.
They make stuff like Joomla and plug-in Forums with the ability to deliver
it via e-mail as well as get summary e-mails of what's up each day so you
could click to go to their sites. I use one for an automotive place, it sends
me daily summaries and I go when I see something of interest. Here, with
this setup and using 99% e-mail on my part - I interact more than I would
even though Alex just hates that <G>. So that could happen to Xbox but
the interesting part is how much dead weight is there now anyways?
Answer there's simple, prolly 50% subscribe but don't interact at all or
even read some or all of the posts. But with Yahoo! Groups - you can't
really tell that and that's it's weakness. BUT, with the body count - the
group looks more attractive to others finding it in the directory or listed
somewhere since it has thousands of members and more folks pile on.
Forums tend to be weak because their numbers are low, but made up of
more involved folks.
So Yahoo's the best we all got for now, unless someone wants to make
the move. It's easy to do, at least 2 of us have the resources to make it
a reality (but as the DemiGod Proph wins!) so it's more a 'eh, ok' or 'nah,
why bother'.
