Re: [DMCForum] Migrating the DMCForum

[Ryan Wright <ryanpwright@xxxxxxxxx>]

Folks,

A phpBB style forum can be easily done. And I can host it, and
administer it. For free.

If the current administrators ("moderators") want to continue their
duties, I can allow that as well. Less work for me.

I prefer this route, myself. It would be like Tamir's board, only run
better. No offense to Tamir but I feel he has WAY too many discussion
sections for the number of users. I'm thinking three sections max: One
for DeLorean discussion, one for polities & religion, and one for
forum/policy discussions (such as the one we're having now).

Properly run - and I have over 12 years experience running community
message boards - such a site could, and perhaps should, replace even
dmcnews.
