Great minds think alike.

I have had no posts, but may have some lurkers, it doesn't give membership
details as on Yahoo. I've joined the Yahoo club just to see whats happening.
14 members so far (mail list is about 250 last time I counted).

AFAI can tell, traffic is likely to be low to either site while the mailing
list provides the preferred avenue of communication.

The advantage of these forums is however, great. You can send attachments and
be less strict with the content. You also get a short lived archive for free.

One suggestion is to split on games. I'm much more interested in FT than the
other fine GZG games and designed the my forum soley for FT.

I don't think who was 'first' should be the deciding issue, rather providing
people with facilities that are useful and what they want. Nor do I want a
forum war. I'm very happy to follow the consensus.

What do people think about partitioning (by game) in this way?

The Delphi message board is a lot better organised and easier to navigate than
the Yahoo one. I haven't tried the chat at Delphi. The club facilities at
Yahoo don't exist at Delphi. Both require some sort of registration of about
the same level of detail. Its horses for courses.
