Steve,
Melco used to have some areas of discussion and Bulletin Boards set up.
There was actually zero or very little activity on them so they were
discontinued. I think that people shy away from a company run BBS or list
feeling it is run with the "big brother" effect and I tend to agree with
that. A company running a BBS and putting their resources into maintaining
it is going to also feel that they should be able to control the flow and
tempo of it. That is why I think this group has been such a success. It is
not sponsored by Melco and is run by an Amaya owner who has been in the
embroidery business for years. Melco people participate but do not control
the tempo or ambience of it.
There is a discussion list on Yahoo Groups on Design Shop and EDSIV called
the MelcoEDS Group and is at http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/MelcoEDS/
that is run by Janel Harris. You can also go to Yahoo Groups and do a search
on MelcoEDS to find information on it. Janel is a Beta site for Melco Design
Shop and has been digitizing with Design Shop for years. I see posts on this
site on all topics, not just Design Shop.
The Melco Service WEB site has some information that might be of interest
to you on the EMT10T machine. There is some troubleshooting guides etc.
There is information there on most of the older Melco products and also some
FAQ stuff on Amaya and Design Shop. The Melco Service WEB site is at
www.Melco-Service.com.
There are many other Embroidery related mailing groups and lists on the
Internet as well. Yahoo Groups is full of them, mostly Home oriented, but
there are a couple of the commercial related one as well. You might want to
consider some of these for embroidery related information not necessarily
Melco specific.

Subject: [amayausers] suggestion for Melco
This doesn't apply to Amaya but I do have a suggestion for Melco's
website. I think it would be help helpful if Melco added a bulletin board
to it's own website and broke it down with 2 catagories, machine name and
software (Then sub catagories such as errors or tips sections. Maybe even
a classified section as well). I have a Melco EMT machine with DesignShop
and would find it helpful to go to the website looking for answers on
weekends or nights when Melco is closed. 2 companies I know that does this
are vBulletin or PHPBB (In case you are wondering, I'm not spamming, PHPBB
is free I believe) For those of you not familar with bulletin boards it is
people helping other people with the same interests. I find them very
helpful. What does everyone else think?
Steve
