I'm for anything that works.<br>
<br>
The current email system is archived immediately, it's just in a
different format than it use to be years ago. You can reach it by
going to <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://WWW.PSUBS.ORG">WWW.PSUBS.ORG</a> -> Discussion -> Browse Archive.
Unfortunately it is not searchable. I have stated my displeasure
with our email forum numerous times primarily due to ever changing
and stricter anti-spamming techniques by large providers such as
yahoo, hotmail, etc, that make it difficult to configure. As it
is now you can see that numerous posts have the name stripped off
so if the person doesn't sign their name you don't even know who
authored the email.<br>
<br>
The web based discussion is available but difficult to retain if I
change software vendors, as I've needed to do in the past due to
limitations or bugs in the software. The current one (myBB) has
upload problems with large PDF files which I have never been able
to resolve. I have installed a phpBB version which may work
better but we'll lose whatever is in the current database.<br>
<br>
I am not opposed to facebook and in fact already have a PSUBS
facebook page at "PSUBS - Personal Submersibles Organization" and
"Personal Submersibles Organization". Apparently I created two of
them, but never developed them because I didn't have time to learn
how to build them out. If someone adept at facebook wants to get
things moving with it, contact me so we can move it along.<br>
<br>
I have not forced a move from email because people seem to like
it. But it's time consuming and painful to maintain so just be
aware that when the next big problem comes around I'm likely going
to shut it down and force a move to some other option that we have
more control over.<br>
