Avon,
We'd talked about having an echo for homelab/server/VM discussions,
seems like there's a lot of people who could contribute. Would love to
see something like that happen.

The one thing I liked about fsxnet against all the others was a lack of groups which forced everyone to discuss whatever in the general echo. Once you start diversifying, you're spreading out the pool of posters. All the networks with tons of groups are all dead. As sysops, we don't need yet
I'm sure overall network activity won't drop off because more message echos are added. If people don't want to post in a certain echo, they won't, but I imagine people would still continue posting in other echos. If an echo doesn't get much activity, it could always be removed.

I'd like an echo like this - but fsxNet is usually slow to add; and
thats almost a good thing... we know what we have and new echoes
sometimes get some traction for a minute and then are just dead
weight.

There's been some good conversations around Homelabs recently on fsxnet,
but I wonder if a dedicated echo area is too niche, vs something like
"Modern Computing" (vs Retro) that could capture that topic and more...

I would enjoy this as well.

Or, we could keep posting on FSX_GEN, let it get to critical mass and
make the decision to split it off then. I bet that's how Avon would
lean.
I just don't want to bore people who aren't running enough hardware at
home to run a small country. :)

I'd like it, but wonder if theres enough folks to make it active - we'll see what Avon thinks, but I love that fsxNet is solid and stable.
may need trimming... but what I have also learned is that it's easy to add but hard to remove an echo once added as some systems keep sending posts to retired echos long after they have been pulled. Guess it all comes down to how the HUB software can handle such things.
With HPT I think we negate it with write level access being set higher than normal node privileges allow for. I think ClrgHouz does the same - Deon?
So like HPT, I built in the idea of read and/or write access to an area. So can you can make some areas read-only and/or write-only.
I've also been toying with the idea to have a voting system. It should be fairly easy for me to know if a node is active (messages being posted
from that system), vs a system running on auto-pilot (only receiving messages) - and thus for a voting system, to be able to determine if the majority of active nodes agree to something.
(I was going to implement a way to vote for a new, or retire an old echoarea - and automatically create it when the majority of active nodes agree to have it. Thought it might be something useful, and I was
curious if, and how, I could make it work.)
But, I've taken a break from clrghouz - I'm sorting through a gazillion photos and videos to find duplicates (programmatically) - I'm spending most of my time to find the tech specis of AVI and MOV files, as well as JPG and HEIC pictures, and then suck some relevant data out of them and figure out which ones are dupes :)
I'm open to it, won't look at this until I get back from some planned travels. I think I should revisit the current echomail list just to see what may need trimming... but what I have also learned is that it's easy to add but hard to remove an echo once added as some systems keep
sending posts to retired echos long after they have been pulled. Guess
it all comes down to how the HUB software can handle such things.
