About Yahoo Groups
Yahoo Groups are different to message boards/forums, especially in the sense that they involve email. Although each member needs to use an email address to join the Group, members can choose to use the Group in a way similar to a forum. Members can choose to not recieve email from the group, and can instead visit the Group Homepage. Like on a forum members can click 'post' and send their posts to the group that way.
Yahoo Groups also archive messages, like a forum. They are not split into different sections but can be viewed and searched easily. This RPG uses specific subject lines for RPG posts so that players can search for a character easily.
A quick Example:
Here is a look at the Archives: Click me.
Here is a search for the character "Leanne": Click me.
Important - Although members can choose not to recieve email from the RPG Group, all members are required to recieve email from the OOC Group. The OOC Group is used by me to send important announcements out to the RPG.
