Re: [ARSCLIST] The case for message boards.

[Roger and Allison Kulp <thorenstd124@xxxxxxxxx>]

I am not sure what you mean.A message board is only as complicated as those who design it want to make it.There are a lot of them with simplified,and streamlined layouts,that work fine.
http://www.progressiveindependent.com/dc/dcboard.php?az=show_forums

is an excellent example of this.

Discussions are not just between two people.

My email program shows the sender and subject of about 60 mails at a
time. It is easy to pick out the ones that look worth reading.

The great majority of web-based forums are horrible to use, with a slow
and incredibly complicated layout.
