I'm fine with whatever forum we choose; no matter which way we go, I have
to believe it'll be better than Yahoo Groups. I have no experience with
Reddit, but I assume it's easy to join and use.
It will be a significant benefit to me (and others, I assume) if we can
figure out a way to archive the old Spielfriek messages. It doesn't happen
often, but every now and then I go back to older years to get some Meeples
Choice info. I'd be willing to chip in some money if the service has a
cost.
