Bravenet vs Yahoo vs Other Options

Well, between Bravenet and Yahoo, I find the Bravenet format simpler. (And apparently you don't even have to sign on, as long as you know the usernum.) But if Au Naturel is going to have to pay $$ to quiet the pop-ups, then we might as well pay four or five dollars more for something that uses the vBulletin style--either an EZboard forum, or perhaps take Mark Amerman up on his offer.



I would certainly be willing to give a few bucks to this temporary cause. What do you think?



If you missed it, here was Mark's posting:
