We are moving off a large Yahoo Groups Community to vBulletin. Despite ALL of the advantages of vBulletin 2.3 in our case over Yahho Groups, there is ONE BIG GOTCHA !! Yahoo Groups offers an "option" to receive messages via email either individually or in a digest and reply to a distribution list ... that then "integrates" back into vBulletin threads. This is obviously a historical LISTSERV carry over from Yahoo's purchase of eGroups and the old dial-up days where many business people still scramble between flights to quickly connect online and DL all of their emails to read OFFLINE on the flight. Plus, a carry over from the old ListServ/Distribution list email mentality versus a 100% online Community environment.

We've all been there, done that. Anyway, old habits are hard to change, and some of our group members - too large to ignore - are not ready to "make the leap" to a 100% online message Forum. We have scoured the hacks here for a solution. We have seen many discussion threads regarding the need for this type of add-on, and even inquired to the vBulletin dev folks ... but NO LUCK.

Anyone know of a solution ??? This could be a KILLER HACK to switch an existing Yahoo Group to vBulletin. We estimate that there are easily over 1 MILLION existing Yahoo Groups !!! Terrific opportunity for a vBulletin PAID ADD-ON !!

Thanks,

Scott
