So it looks like we have a forum that attaches itself to our social group! Who knew? Well I didn't anyway
I guess if and when we post messages that have some lasting interest or may generate some discussion it would be best to use the forum since the archiving ability of the forum is much greater than that of the message area. I had noticed in the past that the message area only would carry the last 10 messages and at one point we had enough activity that messages were dissappearing after a week or two because they were being bumped by the more recent messages.
Presumably, messages in the forum threads will hang around much longer.
