Re: [Xbox] Fwd: Delivery Status Notification(Failure)

well it's already been pretty vocal about NOT moving from Yahoo.. so I doupt that's going to happen.

so far the secruity changes have been working, we've been getting new members that really WANT to

be a part of the group.   I would rather have 1000 people chatting then 5000 Trolls.

 

However, I am working on a project for EQ2 that might be kinda cool tech wise for something like this..

it's an Semi-connected softwar with offline and online aspects.  Seems that's where software is kinda

moving back towards away.  But one of the features is the ability to host a forum of sorts from the

program itself, and everyone else that's connected to the forum is notified if something changes or

a new post..etc.

 

if anything the net needs more intergration..  Google groups.. Yahoo groups.. really doesn't matter.

what needs to happen is a program that'll combine the two.

The answer to that, sadly... Yahoo! Groups. Sucks, but it's what's out
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'.
