no seriously, with just 2-4 phone calls, im sure it can be setup- with quite the same structure as this, the lounges, and flifo-
we need to think of a good name for it though so i can run it by my people--- i think it can be done free or maybe for a small fee , like maybe $5 initally until it covers the majority of the costs, then free? thoughts, let me know?
Give me two things:
Name:
the cost will be shared and divided, then be free once the major stuff is paid for
what features are most important in the creating of the board? ( i think this might be cost effective-- more options, means more space, means more money)

Let me know and I'd be happy to help! I was communications chairman at UAL when we switched from Compuserve to the platform that is similar to this. A site like this would cost about $150 a month plus setup costs. I think we can get one going for a lot less or even free - maybe through google or yahoo. They seem to have a lot of these type message boards. Then it is a matter of getting the word out. I can help with that - have plenty of freinds that can help spread the word through e-mail. There is no reason to be held hostage by an MEC that is in bunker mentality. Communication still needs to flow!
Let me know how I can help!
