This Link will send you to a poll in the Visitor Feedback section, allowing you to vote on the most important issue ever; Should we have a dedicated DIY Thread?!?
I'm up for it but I could also host one on my server and it wouldnt be e-mail based it's a PHPBB and I could have a sub forum on it for DIY stuff... just a thought
I happen to prefer e-mail based forums, partly because of the volume of email from lists I participate/host/whatever is rather vast... it's quicker... and partly because I'm not limited to "device".
I can read my email on my desktop via windows, I can read it via a dumb terminal in the garage (no gui, just a dumb terminal), I can read it on my cell phone if I want... and emergency emails page me.
