: I like the archives because I can look way back to see if my question has been asked already. I try not to ask repetative questions so it is helpful. I don't think they should be thrown out. My .02 too. :)

I see your point but instead of archiving all the messages which in most cases is probably not necessary. How bout a FAQ for the message board. I would be happy to participate in putting one together. perhaps a small group of people could get together with one or two people overseeing the project to check for errors and such.....

I guess I'm up to $0.04 now :-)

: : UBBS looks very good. However, there's one important feature it appears to lack. There's no mechanism for taking old messages and archiving them as "back issues" so to speak. This would mean once the messages were purged, they'd be gone forever.

: : Comments/thoughts? Right now there have been about 1000 hits on the message board archives page. Is this something people are willing to live without? How valuable are the archives? Anyone have an alternative suggestion?
