I'm currently working on creating a forum for all the groups in Oregon
that'll give us quite a bit more freedom and tools at our disposal
than Google Groups can.

It's currently still a WIP, but it'll be mostly together by the end of
today.

Also way to show your impressive admin skills there bud. First rule,
personal drama should never lead to abuse of ones "power".

Good luck with this bud.

Because of database issues, I had to recreate the forum instead of
simply changing the name. Users who have registered will need to re-
register on the new page.
