What do you think?

Google Groups might be a viable alternative to using a Forum software
on my site for Behold Genealogy user discussions. There are several
good reasons I see:

1. Gives you all the features of Google Groups.
2. If you already use Google Groups for other newsgroups, it makes it
very convenient for you.
3. Allows you to get messages via e-mail and post via e-mail.
4. Has an RSS feed if you want it.
5. Will be indexed and searchable by Google, so others can find out
about Behold.
6. Very little maintenance required by me.

I got the idea from Firebug, a Firefox addin that uses it quite
successfully. See at: http://groups.google.com/group/firebug

My Forum link on my page will then link to: http://groups.google.com/group/behold-genealogy.

So I'd like your opinion. Do you think I should use this for Behold's
User Forum, or should I stick to my own installed Forum software on my
Behold website?

Go for it. This wheel has already been invented so you can
concentrate on other matters. You may however wish to migrate your
old discussions so that it is all in one place.
