I loved Jim's comment on green bananas...

I'll offer some attributes of any new system for GMC technical discussion and info retrieval.

- Accessible via email (mail list)
--- When bandwidth or company security issues issues prevent use of the full forum. Bandwidth is in short supply on the road or in campgrounds when help with problems is most needed.
--- When users aren't comfortable with a web-based forum (Especially those with the most experience)

- Incorporates all existing GMCNet posts.

- Supports sub-forums and images

- Incorporates all existing Photo Site photos.

- Converts Photo Site links in posts to Photo Site images

- Converts embedded photos in posts to links for email users.

- Converts GMCMH EFI Google group to a Sub-Forum

- Each sub-forum has a Sticky with links to additional GMC info.

- Curated and moderated by subject matter experts.

- Vendor independent.

- No targeted advertising, no harvesting of user data.

- Owned and managed by an institution supported by GMC owner dues (and that can finish up their green bananas).

As an aside, I helped convert and now manage the website and write PHP programs for a car enthusiast site. In the process, we converted (with a developer's help) a VBulletin forum to one compatible with our new site, including migrating all photos, sub-forums, etc.

The software (FUDforum) currently supporting the GMCNET site is free, open source, and feature rich. A developer familiar with FUDforum software, CSS, HTML, MySQL, and PHP could integrate most or all of the items above, I believe. Whatever organization takes this on would need to step up to the issues involved with the curatorial and website management functions of this approach.
