I'm running a pretty large Yahoo group with currently 3700 members and between 1000 and 2000 posts per month. I'm looking for a forum software on which to port the group.
FUDForum might be an option, because it integrates a mailing list with a web message board - if I understood things properly.
The mailing list feature is important, as many users send and receive the posts by email.
Could anybody answer the following questions:
1. Is email delivery of messages (not just notifications) indeed available ?
2. Is it also possible to post messages by email ? If yes, can users post messages to specific subforums ?
3. Is there a daily digest feature - one email sent each day with all messages of the day ?
4. Is FUDForum capable of dealing with this traffic (let's say 4000 users, most passive and a small number of active ones, between 1000 and 4000 messages/month) ?
5. Is there a search function to search across the messages of the board ?
6. If possible we would like to port the 18000 messages of the archives into the new database. We know how to download the messages, but is there an (automated) way to insert the messages into the new database and rebuild the structure ?
7. It should be possible to set up 4000 members and send each member user id and password by email, so that they don't have to register again, shouldn't it ?
8. The Yahoo group has Files, Links and Photos sections. Would it be possible to set up such sections also in FUDForum ?
9. Is there a Poll feature, where anonymous and non anonymous polls ?
