RE: Forum not sending posts to Topica?

I still choose to get the e-mails, too. I've used the web interface as well,
and I think it's convenient to have both right now (providing Topica doesn't
do something unintelligent again in the near future). I think the ideal
discussion method for groups like EUforum is a Web-based message board like
a few here have tried to launch, but this listserv gets the job done.

Honestly, when I first discovered Euphoria, I was surprised to see that
there was no Web-based forum. Most languages out there have a
well-established system like the excellent phpBB; communication in such an
environment is extremely efficient (not to mention well-organized). I keep
silently wishing that RDS would "officially" launch a Web forum like phpBB
to supplement this list. 
I believe it could even be set up to function
as a mailing list on the back end, sending posts made on the Web interface
to the list, and vice-versa -- much like what we have now, but more robust.
Note that I'm not trying to demean the work that Rob and Junko have done; I
think the system we have now is the best that EUforum has had. A system
like phpBB would simply take away the burden of developing and maintaining a
homemade interface, while requiring minimal administration (as delegated
among forum moderators).
OK, I'm done now.
