[DM-MUG] ADMIN: Please read.

[Chris Van Cleve]

If you want to move away from CIALUG hosting, I (or rather my company) would be happy to host the site and mailing list at no charge. There isn't enough traffic for the site or the list to warrant payment, IMHO. This would also open up several one-click installs to the group to play with or find use with. I have been hosting domains for 10 years and we're not going anywhere but up.

I don't recommend the Facebook OR the Google route. There are a number of reasons why, some of which Jeremy outlined. I've been a heavy Google user in the past and it has always been more frustrating than beneficial. If I could get the last two lists I'm on that still use Google to switch away, I'd be a happy camper.

Let me know regardless of what you choose. I'd be happy to help the transition to wherever we end up.

Thanks,
Chris Van Cleve

Journey forth my friend, by body if needs be...

We owe CILUG  a lot of thanks for their help in the past.

Victoria is in court most of this week but then she and I will be able to work at finding a solution to the future of the mailing list and the web site. If you would like to help us with the decision making mail one of us. We have a list of web hosting services which are inexpensive but we would need contributions if we go that way. Face Book is a possibility also.
