[simpits-tech] Friday Humour - a dilemma

[Steve Wilson]

That's up to Gene, Craig.  He already has this setup dialed in rather nicely
(THANKS GENE!!), and is providing it all gratis on his own server.  He has
absolute power.  To move over to a forum based gathering place would require
the migration of a rather large number of people that are used to the email
format.  As a matter of fact, there is a forum of the type you mention
already set up on the main Simpits International site, and from a cursory
inspection, apparently sees little use.  I do know what you mean about the
forum format - it works very well over at StarshipModeler.com, as well as
Viperpit.org.  :)
