Jonathan, I just discovered that when making the group Public, it's possible to download stuff from posts / the Beta's as well.
I scrolled through the options of Google Group, but no possibility seen to change that.
What do you prefer? For now I made it closed again.
About going back to the old forum: that was the main thought anyway. It's not a good idea to get the info spread everywhere. But some thoughts about that:
- I surely like the look and feel of the old forum way more than Google Groups. Especially the sub forums and the Polls (I personally liked to make ;-)
- But, the advantage of Google Groups is that there is zero spam to clean (as it seems to be done automatically) and it has the possibility to (re)post by email.
- So if Jonathan prefers (as well) to get the old forum in the air again, I would prefer to do that in a coordinated way: to announce it here, maybe one email to all members, lock all topics, copy some interesting ones back to the original KS forum, and finally close it down here completely.
But to avoid the same crisis as in the past 42 weeks, I would like to see that Jonathan makes a couple of people Moderator with full rights of the original forum.
About the possibility to ping Jonathan in bad times (as Florian suggested) I'm happy that Mrs Lonesock has joined this forum as well, so there is at least one of us actually seeing mr Lonesock in real life...
However, that keeps me puzzled: How can two Lonesocks make a pair ;-)
