This list frightens away a lot of would-be members 1a. The wierdness in subsc(r)(i)bing (I know a few people who've found it hard to join this list). 1b. The volume of e-mail that you can get in your inbox turns a lot away. 2. The forums would be much easier to admin, and there's the added bonus of threaded topics and off-topic'dness 3. It can be fashioned and crafted and made more... of an oztori online home. 4. I've been on a UBB board (a Trek one - the guy who helped create them runs it) for many years - It's SO much easier to work with. 5. There is NO way that it would end up being like the freaky @forumz. 5a. The @forumz have WAY too many boards to post at - where you get little cliques forming. 6. It could double as the 'website' that has been neglected. 6a. We could base it at oztori.org? What do people think? Are lurkers going to comment on this? (They can lurk there too y'know) :) ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 17 Aug 2003 16:00:36 -0700 (PDT) From: Nathan "®" Subject: Re: [oztori] Another suggestion AndrewR wrote: > Was tete a teteing with some fellow oztorians today > - and I think that the > oztori e-mail list should become a UBB bulletin > board. Disadvantages: (i) Much harder to post 'attention-seeking' posts that 'everyone' will read; (ii) Don't get to have the same change-the-subject-heading fun as here; (iii) How can you really keep it 'true blue' Austrayan & not over-run by ppl from other cunt'ries who join? > 2.

But US ppl are likely to join (sorry Nerida) then... Do we WANT them? It would be hard to keep it just 'Austrayan' (& NZ I guess), Andrew.

You can make it that the people who join have to only REGISTER from an australian domain e-mail account (or NZ). Anyone with problems could e-mail me or relevant board admins with personal requests that by-pass that problem. Besides - we're going to know quickly whether they are not Australian or NZ'drs It CAN be quite easy Nath. AND you can depending on which features you enable - change the subject - well at least the subject of successive posts to the one thread. I really like those boards - but only when they have a select number of 'sub-boards'... not like stupid @forumz... with boards for rediculous things like "Tori Pidgeon Fanciers" with like 2 posts in it since 1999.

Oh so this is like one o'those boards that go like: *Any Tori fans into pigeons? AndrewR 18/08 10:29 *Re: Any Tori fans into pigeons? BlackDove 18/08 10:31 *YES! EvenStillThePigeonHasToLand 18/08 13:42 *Re: YES! AndrewR 18/08 14:59 etc. rather than an @forumz style board?! If so, I probable like the idea alot better then the @forumz-style one. > I really like those boards - but only when they have > a select number of > 'sub-boards'... not like stupid @forumz... with > boards for rediculous > things like "Tori Pidgeon Fanciers" LOL!!!

If there is, i think it's an awesome idea. It saves the crap in emails and you only get what you want and can reply all you want. and stuff. Nayth don't be so damn negative. Um, honestly, if it was one of those dodgy pigeons are cool - lalala 12:08 12/12/03 YES i agree - lalalu 1:04 etc... Noooo I DON"T WANT THAT no freakin' way am i joining a dodgy board like that, like the one on liz-phair.com... If it was a board, i think it would have to be one FORMATTED like the one on atforumz. I'm sorry, i'm not stupid completely, tho i'm not that good with computers, and those dodgy messageboards bug me and confuse the hell outta me. And you can't have pictures and profiles and cool stuff either. I seriously think the ones on atforumz with all the cool stuff and nice clean format are way better.. Thoughts everyone else? oh and just to update.. found out ex bf is not the only one who thinks ex bf is hot. apparently most of the specific population of my town thinks so too, and has done him. and apparently a few of them have hep c now. and apparently ex bf is riddled with STDs. hah. Any doctors on this list that might wanna talk to me a little bit? mmm? i think ex bf is gonna be headless and not man-size no more. byeeeeeeeeeee. oh and one thing to think about about boards is that once somethings out there, it's out there for YEARS until it's deleted by a moderator or until the board is lcosed.. Email it's deleted or kept as wanted and new members wouldn't see it. boards make thoughts permanent which would mean that it would ALWAYS have to be ON topic and completely about tori and no personality involved, basically. no one wants to come back and be embarrassed by weird stuff. we'd all have to censor a lot more. (OK, *I* would have to censor a lot more), and it would kill a lot of the familytype lovin we have going on here, don't you think? It would make everything .. *gasp*.. Public. mattyv...

It's a cover she did and added some words at the end.

I actually like the email format. It encourages me to read it more regularly. A forum I will forget to log on to for ages and miss bits. I do this with others. With the amount of times the subject changes, having things in thread form would not be that much more beneficial. The continuity and lack of structure this place has, I don't think is suited. But that is just my opinion. Mainly because I am missing a home net connection and it is easier to follow things through my email account and not miss out on stuff. ~Bindy Go to: http://www.livejournal.com/users/cancerian/ for Ramblings From The Moon Child _________________________________________________________________ ninemsn Extra Storage comes with McAfee Virus Scanning - to keep your Hotmail account and PC safe.

Ech. No. 1. I won't read a web-based board. I can't download it and read it offline if I need to or choose to, and I won't think about it unless it lands in my inbox. 2. Bulletin Boards are all different, and I couldn't be assed dealing with some moron's idea of a useable interface when via email I can communicate via whatever program I like best. 3. Bulletin Boards take too long on my shithouse modem to access. HTML + ads + people's cute little smileys and footers and blah blah blah all adds up to frustration. ~Becc :-) - -- www.crappism.org ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 18 Aug 2003 16:58:29 GMT From: Rebecca Appleton Subject: Re: [oztori] Another suggestion On Mon, 18 Aug 2003 00:27:01 +1000, AndrewR wrote: >Was tete a teteing with some fellow oztorians today - and I think >that the >oztori e-mail list should become a UBB bulletin board.
