I love the concept behind this board but I find it unusable. I need an email notification. I need better threading. I need to know more than the last 10 posted messages (especially since there are some that post scattershot). To that end I'd like to suggest a Google Groups mailing list. I'd like Jeff's comments on whether he's willing to flip. It has threading, message storage, email, everything you could possibly want. I'm not sure about privacy settings, which, understandably, might be a deal killer. If so I'd like other suggestions.

Well, I have not ever really been thrilled with this format.....but it came at the right price. I am open to trying out google groups. I have set up a group. If people want to switch over all they have to do is join. Here is the link: groups.google.com/group/catholicxjwdiscussionYou guys can vote with your feet so to speak. Jeff S.

Proboards is a free site, so the quality is pretty basic. Originally Catholicxjw was on a freeboards site which was pretty hopeless. I know I haven't contributed much to the forums lately, but it'll be good to come to some formal verdict and not have half the members on one forum and half on another. It's a shame that proboards hasn't been much good, but I think it's the best we can do for now. Even though this board hasn't been very active, it has helped a few people and that's what I find is important.

Evanescence I haven't popped in on this thread in a while. Upping the history has helped me wander through posts to find all of the new ones. I'd still love to have email notification and if there was a way to do it I'd help. The google groups board is...well...not doing well right now. In fact there are posts that need to be _actively_ deleted.

One other note, I'm currently working on developing a brand new social networking tool, but in the process of researching what to make I stumbled on something that might be of interest to Jeff and you. It let's you make "your own" social network site. www.ning.com/Other than a _real_ brief look I haven't spent much time with it, but I thought you might be interested.
