ListServe (ADMINS READ!)

It'd be nice to be able to discuss business while not in full view.

Well what is a listserve?

Is there way to create a forum area open only to admins?

A listserve means that there is an e-mail address (Imfdb-listserve@listserve.com for example) that if you send an e-mail to, that e-mail automatically goes out to everyone. Not sure about the forum idea, but a listserve would make sure the message gets to people. I think everyone checks their e-mail more than they check the forum...

I vote yes. Something are better discussed in private.

I voted maybe, as I think a better sollution (if possible) would be an admins only section of the forum, as having it in a forum format you would be able to have different topics on the go at the same time and keep them separate. Also if a couple of people ended up having a discussion about somehing it would not keep emailing everyone about something that was irrelevent to them. If you wanted to receive email notifications you could subscride to the thread and have the forum send you email notifications, and this would have the plus that if an admin didn't want to be receiving emails they could still view discussions and give input, as opposed to a ListServe system where they would have no idea what is going on. That being said i would still subscride if it was implemented, but I think a forum section would be better.

I like this idea better myself, though I'm not particularly opposed to a ListServe.
