Nothing prevents anyone from continuing to plan group hunts here. I was suggesting that there are more efficient way to organize the hunts and offered a couple of possibilities. Whether it is a quick overnight decision or one with a few days to organize - a web tool that helps with the organization doesn't have to be complicated to find our use. It is nice to have data in one place that is persistent. You don't have to try to follow the thread to see what the current status is or who is going. More private communication between the individuals who are planning to attend the hunt, without the entire SLAGA newsgroup wading through each message. Plus, it has been very painful for me to watch some of the confusion regarding the basic info about where everyone is meeting and when. The forum we added at http://www.geostl.com/phpnuke/modules.php?name=Forums is a possible solution. Use it if you like. Post a link to the forum thread here when a new hunt is first created. I think that Sara might be able to help as the Group Hunt forum moderator, to assist the experiment along. She might even design a web page or two off of geostl.com that is even better than anything else that exists!
