Hi folks

So you will have (hopefully) seen some posts here about thinking for echomail areas and also some posts I made today into a number of other fsxNet echos.

I'll try to summarise proposals/thinking:

1) close FSX_MAG and shift discussions about Talisman/Magicka etc. to FSX_BBS

2) close FSX_ENG and shift discussions about Enigma 1/2 BBS to FSX_BBS

3) close FSX_STA and set stats posts from hubs to just weekly into FSX_BOT but retain nightly stats updates on website fsxnet.nz

4) close FSX_FIL and ask sysops to post such updates to FSX_BOT and at a frequency that is ideally once  weekly or a worse once daily

5) close FSX_LFE and move those topics etc. across to FSX_GEN

6) close FSX_MUSIC and broaden the description of FSX_VIDEO so that all topics in FSX_MUSIC can be included in the FSX_VIDEO echo... so merging stuff into one current echo vs trying to create yet another new one to do the same thing

7) close FSX_SPACE and direct BOT posts in that echo to FSX_BOT and general chat about Space etc. to FSX_GEN

8) broaden the description of FSX_HAM so all topics of radio comms etc. are on topic not just HAM / Amateur related stuff... this is a great suggestion from the community - thanks :)

9) perhaps broaden the description of FSX_ADS to also encourage ANSI art posts into this echo - thoughts?

I will cross-post this update to both FSX_GEN and FSX_NET

Please keep all replies to FSX_NET thanks.

Best, Paul aka Avon
