Subj : Pondering Echomail Changes

I am considering the following

Retiring

FSX_ADS
FSX_STA
FSX_FIL

Any BBS advertisements, stats for echomail areas, inter-bbs games, files
received could be merged back down into FSX_BOT

I thinking I'll reduce several of the stats reports posted from the hubs down
to weekly instead of daily and just keep the daily reports available on
fsxnet.nz


Retiring

FSX_SPACE - this echo is largely bot posts and could be discussed in FSX_GEN
with the bot posts moved to FSX_BOT

FSX_ENG - the echo is largely inactive and I think posts covering Enigma
could be covered in FSX_BBS

FSX_MAG - the echo does has some activity but again, perhaps best to move
chatter to FSX_BBS?

FSX_LFE - the lifestyle echo has also been fairly average in terms of usage etc.. perhaps best to drop and use FSX_GEN also?

Pondering

1) Merge video and music echos into one - not sure?

2) Keep crypto echo or not? I like the idea of an echo for encoded posts that
don't annoy others if folks are wanting an echomail area to post such stuff,
that said the echo is fairly dead... unless I and a few folks use it :)

3) Keep HAM echo, albeit that's it fairly quiet.

Any thoughts, comments welcome... some I think I will know before you post them :)
