Everyday systems (all of them) have a new home for discussions:

http://everydaysystems.com/bb/

I'm announcing it here because:

1) it's not system specific

2) this is a small group and it probably makes more sense to have a
few beta testers try it out before encouraging hundreds of nosdieters
and shovelglovers to rush over.

So please take a moment when you get a chance to join the new bulletin
board and give it a while. If anything confuses or annoys you or you
have questions or suggestions please don't hesitate to let me know. I
created a couple of test groups if you don't have anything in
particular to post but just want to give the system a try.

Many thanks to nosdieter Rich Laferty for guiding me in the choice and
configuration of the new bulletin board software.

What are some of the advantages of the new board?

1. no more obnoxious full page ads from yahoo (just discreet little
ads from me via google)

2. more intuitive search and navigation

3. easier to continue separate discussions without them
drowning each other out.

4. easier to ignore discussion you don't care about

5. by default you will not get a ton of annoying email.

6. new boards and subboards can be easily added as new topics arise
without requiring additional user registrations

Don't worry, I have an archive of all the yahoo group messages and
will make it publicly available soon. I'll keep the yahoo groups
around for a bit until the new boards are past their growing pains.
I'd rather retire the yahoo groups rather than keep them going in
parallel so the community doesn't splinter. I know some of you will
inevitably prefer the old system... but I think most of you will like
the new one better, and you'll agree that the community we've built is
more important and worth preserving than the technology.
