Bicycle Austin forum

If moving to Yahoo/Google what would the point of having the forums be?

It could be reasonable to have a period of transition where if things to move to one of the other groups that say over a 6 month time you give people the option to move to the group.  After the 6 month period no one could respond on the email list but you could sign up the list to get the digest from the group and if they wanted to respond to a topic they would have to sign up.

Anyway, just some thoughts. :)

I was really excited about the BABlog but when no one ever posted anything I stopped going to it.  I thought surely with the line up that said they would write it would be a great blog just like the mailing list/forums are a great way of discussing topics.  My thought goes to the people who were asked to write on the blog were too busy to do so?  Then I came back to a thought long ago that I tried and worked for a bit before people just left the site and that was to have a blog act more like a forum.  Basically allow anyone to start a blog post and have anyone reply.

At any rate, I'm sad to see the BABlog go as I would have loved to read more about what some of the authors had to say.  It definitely pulls me into the site more so than the forums here. :)
