I'd prefer something different than the Yahoo groups.

THere are a million different board types out there. For my business,
I purchased the Classic style Ultimate Bulletin Board from InfoPop. I
really like that style forum, and it si very easy to manage, albeit it
was difficult it install on my domain and host server. Unfortunately
they no longer offer that software and they have gone to their own web
based forums. It's located here if you want to see it for ideas...

What you have put together seems good so far Frank. I would think
there would be some kind of photo website that could host our photos
along with this forum. Photobucket, or something like that perhaps?

My 2 cents anyway.
