I came from the Syteline world and they were using a forum on the
Progress Users group web site (www.peg.com). There is already an EPICOR
forum set up on the PEG. It does not seem to be used much.

I think that would work well for a forum based board. This being an
email
based board that will not work.

Now if this could be converted to a forum that would be useful. The
downside is that needs $$$ to pay for hosting and bandwidth.

Actually it would be nice if Epicor would host a community forum. It
could
actually be used as a selling point for prospective customers.

Any thoughts?

This seems to have gotten a little off topic.

However I was involved previously with a user group
for another erp system and it was separated into
application and technical. Over time other groups
appeared for specific applications within the erp
system.

Because Vantage 8.0 is so completely different from
what has come before it might make some sense to have
a separate group.

That's not entirely true - the vantage 8 group would
have a different tag in the email header. If a member
wanted to get posts from both groups they could either
put the emails all in one folder or ave them separate.

This seems to have gotten a little off topic.

However I was involved previously with a user group
for another erp system and it was separated into
application and technical. Over time other groups
appeared for specific applications within the erp
system.

Because Vantage 8.0 is so completely different from
what has come before it might make some sense to have
