As there seems to be some interest now in possibly having a MUGLO Forum, and as
I have had some experience now with running one, I would be happy to set one up
for members to try and, if we don't want it, I can then delete it!
I will await your response to the idea!!

I would tend to agree with Gerhard. I run a forum dedicated not so
much to Mac users specifically, but more generally aimed at
Creativity, and more specifically to Responsible Creativity. You can
check it out at http://www.theflue.org if you're so inclined. It is a
heavily modified installation of PunBB, but forum installations can
be much simpler, and as Gerhard said, free.
The nice thing with forums is they can be a valuable source of
information for a long time, and most are quite easy to search. The
membership is what's of the most value however, along with how they
interact as a community (which I think would be safe to say that we
have a pretty solid community in MUGLO)

To me I find Forums much easier to use and they can be hosted at free
sites with the software provided for free. What I like about them is
that you set it up that you have various topics of interest, i.e. we
could have Hardware and then sub-categories like notebooks, desktops,
accessories etc., then an iLife Forum with the various applications as
sub-categories. These places allow you to link image files into your
postings. When it has been around long enough it will be a valueable
resource as you can easily browse topics of interest and they have a
very effective search function.
One such place that provides forums like that is:
