    Ni>> I think a lot of people are still familiar with web browsers and web   
    Ni>> sites..  There are web forums people use that don't have their own   
      
    Co> Sure, but you're thinking like someone who already knows the ins and outs   
    Co> of a Synchronet BBS with a webserver. A newbie doesn't have such knowledge   
      
   Not really; my line of thought was that even if someone isn't familiar with   
   Synchronet, I think many people are familiar with using a web browser and   
   should be able to have a look at the Synchronet wiki and read the   
   documentation.  Also, they could look at, say, Vertrauen's web site and look   
   in the Dove-Net message areas for Synchronet; ecwebv4 is similar to a web   
   forum where you can read through messages.   
      
   When I first started using Synchronet and didn't know anything about it, I   
   started reading through the Synchronet documentation (at the time, the wiki   
   didn't exist, so I read through the older web-based documentation).  That was   
   my first thought for learning about Synchronet; I wouldn't have thought to   
   post in a Facebook group to ask questions about Synchronet.
