I have used different types of discussion groups for many years (all the way back to the old usenet days). However after looking at the message board there was really no way to make it work well for our purposes here.<br /><br /> In general the poster on the other thread was right, most of the benefits of the message board go away when you realize no one will want to register an account. What constitutes a “new comment” is different for each visitor depending on when they visited last and what threads they read. The only way the board could know this is if you had a registered account. I know people could register with fake email addresses, but I thought that added cost would scare folks off. At the end of the day the utility of this type of thing is monotonically (exponentially?) increasing in the number of visitors. So I wanted as few things in the way of people reading and posting anonymously. <br /><br />Once you realize that the benefits of a message board go away without registration. The downside comes into play. Without the “new comments” function it takes MUCH longer to go through a message board than it does a blog like this. It takes multiple clicks to get to the last post. This puts it all on one page.<br /><br />All that being said if there is something that would work out there that I have not run across I am all ears. Also hopefully blogger will update the comments scripts many have suggested I use, so that they work with the “new blogger”.Tatonnementhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11208200326364496538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-263971925492584533.post-25299967518704565532007-02-06T22:17:00.000-06:002007-02-06T22:17:00.000-06:00Bitter, once again.Bitter, once again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-263971925492584533.post-90595653057406129952007-02-06T10:39:00.000-06:002007-02-06T10:39:00.000-06:00Advice?
