If a good-sized majority of the readers here thought it was a good idea, I would be happy to open a set of forums up at one of my websites. YahooGroups is very annoying in my opinion, and there are much better choices for running a forum. (For one example, look at my interactive site at http://www.differentcomputers.com )

I've considered doing this anyway, and the minimal (US$8-10/month) cost would be deductible for me since I can bill it as promotion for Different Games.

But I DON'T want to thin out the readership by splitting up the group, with some preferring to continue on Yahoo and others moving elsewhere. That's why I hesitated in suggesting this in the first place. But if we're going to move or rename the group anyway, let's move to something where we aren't being bombarded with refinancing banner ads every 3rd page.

Also, having set it up for this group, there would be zero effort involved in hosting all the other HW/Q groups: Miniatures, Pavis Awakes, Prax Writers, Rules, etc. I'd also be happy to offer Admin status to anyone interested.

Perhaps a poll?
