As letterboxing has taken off in the past few years, some new methods
of passing information have become necessary. For instance, with the
increase in new boxes, a new site was developed by Wes Garrison to
allow placers to add their own clues. Similarly, the traffic on the
Yahoo mailing list is becoming overwhelming, and has resulted in some
frustration and people dropping from the list. In order to address
these issues, I have started a message board devoted to letterboxing:

http://pub188.ezboard.com/bletterboxingnorthamerica

On this board, I have tried to create forums for various areas of
interest, including general letterboxing information, new boxes, box
reports by region, and events, among others. Therefore, you will be
able to read only areas that are interesting to you, without having to
wade through hundreds of messages. Also, the message board format
will allow for threaded topics, keeping related messages together.
The current structure is just a starting point, and may be changed in
the future.

I have set up the board on EZ Boards, which have free accounts for
anyone to use. There will never be a fee required for individual use;
however, after the first month, EZ Board will charge a fee to keep the
board running. For example, 6 months of ad-free board use for
everyone can be purchased for $30, for up to 10,000 page views per
month. On other boards, funds have been raised through contributions,
such as through Pay Pal.

I hope you will try the board and make suggestions. I believe this
could be a major improvement in communication for the letterboxing
community. Thanks.
