But I have been a member for close to a year & the reason that I haven't posted is that I find Topica a PITA to use. So I am going to bring up an idea up that may make for a good discussion. I know of a good basic message board that we could purchase for ~$500 which includes setup, all patches and one year of server hosting. Each subsequent year the price is about half of that. The entire board would be under the control of Gary with no ads what so ever. Individual "forums" could be setup for A, B & C bodies if desired. Or by Model year. Or however. The classifieds could also be moved to the new msg board. It would only take 50 members $10 each to move over to a true "site owned" msg board and the benefits thereof. My opinion regarding mail list servers such as Topica and Yahoo is that they are all right for small groups or very light usage. However as memberships grow and usage increases there are better options out there. Just my .02 Scott =========================================================== $6.95 .com Domain Name Sale!
