For anyone who thinks that this group can actually be saved or
expanded or whatnot, we just passed the 2nd anniversary of
Badassintosh. I noticed that our domain name has been expired. I
have a few questions for whoever set that up as well to see if maybe
we can abandon Google and make this a real website with more users and
whatnot. Let me know your thoughts. Thanks.

I still think we can go somewhere with this, but we need to abandon
google groups, we need something concrete. I've been saying for a long
time that a free forum/messageboard type setting like invisionfree
would be more conducive to the way we used to be. We need simultaneous
yet partitioned conversations in threads for general talk, tech talk,
advice and whatnot, and a messageboard should cover those bases.
Setting one up would be easy, free, and would get people back on board
with the group. Anyone like the idea?

I love the idea myself. I have been on a forum called 68k Macintosh
Liberation Army (68kmla.net) and it is much more what I was looking
for with Badassintosh. The forum set up would be nicer and I think
better for everyone as long as we have moderators and such. The
google group was a great starting place, but it needed to be just
that. Something to get us by until we could have our own site. I was
wondering if we could renew the domain name and have it redirect
automatically to a forum of ours, or even host the data itself.
Another problem is we do not have enough people. Somehow we need to
figure out how to get more people to join.

I can help recruit people on my campus. I'm active in my apple user
group there and trying to become the apple rep for
My school.

Honestly, one of the reasons I liked Badassintosh so much was the
convenience of not having to leave Mail to post to it, but if we get
something more interesting going, I'll be in as well.

I can agree with that. Having badassintosh right with gmail is
horribly convenient. But I'm willing to help with any other website
ideas that come along.
