[GSAS-Member] Forums - please: no

I really like the digest format and I have little/no trouble using it.

 

Let's leave it alone, it works fine.

 

FWIW, there was a huge, multi-year debate about moving the AKA "killietalk" 
list from e-mail based to forums based. Eventually, they mandated "move to 
forums."

 

The overall result is more sanitized, but somehow, less spirited, and not 
nearly as easy to use as the digest. Forums worked well for AKA because they 
have lots of other online resources that the members rely on, and they had a 
real need to moderate postings, so overall they're delivering pretty well for 
the members, but this club is friendly and small and it would just feel, I 
dunno, too tech if we moved to a forum.

 

Just my $.02 from a member that doesn't attend too many of the club meetings, 
but really enjoys the digest.
