I Gotta Have More Cowbell!

We're working hard to increase the value (ie cowbell) that YDN can offer; our beautiful redesign is part of that effort. Along those lines, I want to introduce you to our latest offering, message boards. (struggling here not to include the obnoxious blink tag)

If you haven't been online since 1995, message boards are tools that people use to connect with each other. They differ from social networks in that they are useful. ;) We like them because they allow us to brag about how hip, retro and old skool we are here at YDN. Yo!

Anyhoo, we're super excited about our new message boards and we really hope you like them. Also, as a heads up, we're not removing our existing Yahoo! Groups anytime soon, and possibly not ever, because we understand that some people like email better and some would rather have the organization and structure that a board offers.

So, if you don't mind, we'd like you to come in, introduce yourself, and talk amongst yourselves. We covet your feedback!

I loved that episode of Saturday Night Live, parody of Blue Oyster Cult.

This is just what you guys needed. I've found it hard to find proper code examples, many of the apps that say they have source do not.

I'm going to sign up (if my current account doesn't already integrate) and post a question. Much appreciated and great idea.
