[Nobbc] Fund raising for autox.team.net

[Greg Tatarian]

Hi Mel,

I am also a member of several Yahoo Groups, and that is my preference as 
well. They can be set up so that there are sections for specific 
subjects, which allows people to decide what they want to read or 
ignore. There are also sections for files, photos, links, and other 
topics, even off-topic chatting.

There are a couple of concerns; it is web-based, which means there is 
some risk of malicious scripts that can be uploaded to the group via 
html. The other is that there are banners and ads, which some people 
really object to (but they are more subtle than Facebook, in my opinion).

Another option I've been exploring is Google Groups, but that has the 
same concerns, and I'm not happy with the interface. There are premium 
email forum and discussion board hosting services, but they cost money. 
Since we don't charge dues, I don't want to get us on the hook for a 
paid service.

I'd like to look further into Yahoo Groups, but would want to get a 
better idea from members whether this would be acceptable.

Thanks for your comments, Mel,

Greg
