[Healeys] Message boards...I won't ask again...

[wericars at aol.com]

I have to say, I am scratching my head.? All the reasons you folks say you like the list is exactly why I suggested the message board format.? The message board has a community feel, you know everyone there, and you can communicate instantly in the specific discussion you want to participate in.? You can organize the forum by topics, set up local communities for local meets.? You can post pictures and have them archived on the board.? The discussions are always there in tact and easy to find,?etc.? 

Some of my closest friends are people I have actually met through the Honda S2000 messsage board S2Ki.com.? We have impromptu meets every week and big regional meets every month.? 

Some say they like the list because they like this group.? I do too.? My suggestion was for this group to?migrate en mass to?a message board.? I'm not sure I understand how we would lose the community if we all went to the same place.? Maybe my suggestion of growing the community by attracting younger people to the community isn't desireable?? The BCF is not the format I had in mind.? One forum page for the Healeys is inadequate.? I envisionsed a multipage format just for the Healey group.

I guess the Message boards the rest of you have used were not good communities.? I have seen some that have a lot of fighting and childish behavior, so I can certainly see how you might have had a bad experience.? In any event, I now understand why the migration hasn't occurred.? This question was like asking a Morgan owner why he hasn't converted his car to rack and pinion steering.? Just kidding!!!
