Hi Paul,

My reasoning from moving away from the forum is that this allows anyone to
write to it and follows a strict title style layout, which doesn't IMHO
lend it's self well to an "official" LUG webpage. I personnally feel that
the website is more of a public image thing and the state our front page
is in at the momment is probably not helping to increase our membership.

I suggested removing the forum and the duplicate mailing list as I feel
that, due to the currently tiny membership, having 1 place to contact the
group will increase the chance that people with actually read it (unless
all corespondence is duplicated across both). Linking to the archive
provided by lug.org.uk (http://mailman.lug.org.uk/pipermail/lancaster/) on
the website will allow those currently not registered to look and see what
discussions etc. is generated and can join the list if they wish.

I am sorry if I am comming across a little strong, however the lack of
communication on any of the 3 systems at the momment, combined with the
lack of new and old faces each week has spured me to try and do something
to increase the LUG's activity.

Martyn
