[QUOTE="RatInTheWoods, post: 1131544, member: 9802"] I am an old guy and used to use BBS type service in the old days before the internet.... The tech was very simple, and I think it would be adaptable easily to fit modern day technology. My idea is that users/subscribers get emailed the updates to each forum in zipped, encrypted emails which a local client upacks and recreates the identical display to the current forum. Edits and new posts are done "offline" in the client and emailed as a batch by each user zipped and encrypted to a central location where they are put together by the host software and posted out the next day. You could lower the refresh cycle to hourly or make it user configurable, not live, but still works the way most users want it to. Its not hosted, can't be shut down and is all encrypted and secure. Internet providers don't even know what they are hosting or transmitting. It wouldn't take more than a few days to set up this software and system. Anyone see downsides to this? [/QUOTE]
