Subj : Re: Forced registration in Whistler To : Glenn M. From : Gregg Strom/BRYX Int'l Date : Tue Mar 27 2001 02:36 pm From: "Gregg Strom/BRYX Int'l" I have a copy of WebBoard (though an older one). If it has changed significantly in the last three years, I'll check out the new version. (But this is STILL only half of the problem: With the CServe/Gallacticomm model, ONE sign-up gets access to a whole array of tiered services and special access areas. Each additional sign-up step to get basic services causes a loss of MANY customers. The major goal is an integrated-looking/acting sign-up and user interface.) gs "Glenn M." wrote in message news:3ac171e2$1@w3.nls.net... > Gregg, > > Closest I've found, and use, is WebBoard.
