I value this site, the sharing, and the learning.

No I wouldn't be in favor of another bulletin board. Its either this one
or another one. I would not be opposed to handing the reigns of this
group over to others. This group is not about me but us. As long as the
group stays intact it makes no difference to me if its at Yahoo or some
other site or if I'm the moderator or an active member.

I don't have the time or knowledge to know or learn how to seamlessly
make the transition. If there is enough feedback from the group we can
do a poll of the membership to see how many would be in favor of
pursuing such a plan.

The bulletin board would be in lieu of this one.  If we wanted ad 
revenue at least, we would have to get a fair amount of traffic on 
the board and I don't think that the database alone would generate 
that.

Plus most bulletin board software allows more flexibility as far as 
what sort of notifications you get (i.e. limited to certain topics) 
and to view messages on the same basis, to show only unread messages, 
etc.

I don't think we would need another bulletin board...that is...if 
there was another bulletin board I wouldn't be able to keep up with 
both of them...

I volunteer to set up the site with the interactive family tree 
software I have on my site currently and to include a bulletin board 
system that we can use similar to this list.

We would need to either get small donations to cover a cost of about 
$150 a year for hosting or try to make that money back through 
advertising on the site... We can get Google ads on the site and as 
long as people click through on the ads enough, we will probably be 
able to make back the cost (depending on how many users there are and 
how often people go on the site).

My cost estimate is for a hosting package that would give us 3GB of 
storage.  People could upload files in addition to their GEDCOMs.  
All of the family information would be searchable by name, place, 
etc. and could be searchable on a tree-specific basis or the entire 
database could be searched at once.  Of course these functions would 
only be available for registered members.  How many are there?
