Question about pilot forums

The other downside to a web-based forum -- can't always get
a PPP or SLIP connection. But I can ALWAYS get a dial-up for
plain text.

Avsig is only a shadow of what it was a few years ago. The major players are
long gone. I still go by there occasionally and there are VERY few
interesting posts any more. Avsig is mostly an expensive social club these
days.

"Offline", what is that??? I haven't been offline for 5 years!!

John,

www.avsig.com. Mother of all pilot bulletin boards.

What do you think is attractive about web forums? I hate them, because
you can't read them offline, nor can you decently track what you have
read and what not. Get a decent newsreader to follow this, and you'll
see what I mean.

You should try this thing called "travelling".

Hi Everyone,

I have been watching this bulletin board for a while, but of course find
it difficult to view while I'm at work and on the road. I was curious if
anyone uses a web based Bulletin board for Pilot topics. I am aware of
pilotsharetheride.com, but that is really just for pilots to hook up with
other pilots for ride sharing. What I am looking for is a forum similar
to this one here. If no one is aware of one I may consider setting one
up. Would anyone be interested in that? I'm a computer engineer with lots
of experience, and would do it if I could drum up interest.

John

Sure, there are at least a hundred of them. Each with a little more
than one hundredth the traffic!
