Your so sweet LOL!
I just wonder about privacy issues and stuff.
I don't know how one is able to run a 'site'. Who controls said site? Who has all the files? On what computer? If its members only, then how safe ACTUALLY is what you say? Where are the archives held?
And ya....sigh...people will be people, and there is likely to be issues...
I guess one thing I really DID like about babble, was that we were able to be helping others with our posts, and this would not be so on a members only site. That would deter me alot. Also, I myself have huge issues with anything even slightly resembling intimacy. Hence my dislike of bablemail.
I like it all in the open.
I am thinking that it may not be quite as easy as we might wish.
i am thinking that if anyone knows and established open site that has asst forums, and they know its a good site, then possibly we could attempt to keep in touch there...
I also have a problem w/Bobs neverending archives.....Kath, your so sweet, and I admire your being proactive, but I guess I been burned and am nervous now.
Maybe there are some good sites others have discovered?
I have a site I like, but its a bit slow...
Anyhow, I will watch and see if there are some ideas...
Take care,
M
