Personally, I think it is possible, and I would be very impressed if someone could write a fully functional webboard/mailing list software package, that would function wholly as one or the other to the user, but both carried simultaneous, identical content.

FUD will do exactly that and also has hooks for NNTP so it could be  propagated as a newsgroup.  It also has the ability to syndicate the content via RSS.

There are no plans to use the mailing list or newsgroup functionality.

Well, assuming that they have ample size machine(s) running the front end and the database, it should scale very well.

You mean once upon a time there was a listserver? Before my time (on this forum). But to tell you the truth, I'm still on a couple of very active lists, and unless I am missing something about how this works, they are a lot easier to keep up with.

Well, there was a live-audio listserv, plus a lot of us are refugees from the old CompuServ LiveAudio! forum.  I was never on the listserv, but I vaguely remember Dave Stevens announcing on the CS forum that he was starting www.live-audio.com because CompuServ was bought by AOL and going to shit.

I would imagine that this carbon-dates some of us pretty well, eh?

The list was started to be more accesable to people.  CIS was expensive and I thought that by putting it on the newly commercial Internet would open it up.  IIRC, AOL didn't buy CIS until a couple years after the original live-audio_Board came online.

Just taking some time to check out the new digs. The old board served us well for many years. My only problem with the new board is the small font size with my geezer eyes. I like the ease of getting around.

I had the same problem.  Check out this post.  It absolutely fixed the problem for me.
