You can see some of the activity by searching Google "Groups". There are several newsgroups for Scouting, such as - http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=lang_en&group=rec.scouting.usa admin | IP: Logged spin-off new thread cubbobwhite Forum Member Registered: 10/18/2004 Location: the "thumb" of Michigan Posts: 61 View member's profile Send Private Message Ignore this user RE: Internet newsgroups vs forums Posted: Tuesday, 10/19/2004: 8:11:28 AM     quality rec.scouting.usa could be a useful newsgroup but after a while you get tired of all the belligerent posts and wonder if the posters are really Scouters. admin | IP: Logged spin-off new thread Pureblade New Forum Member Registered: 12/18/2004 Location: Cloverdale, VA Posts: 5 View member's profile Send Private Message Ignore this user RE: Internet newsgroups vs forums Posted: Saturday, 12/18/2004: 6:56:21 PM     quality I find that forums are better, because there seems to be less ignorant jerks running rampant on Scouting site. Also, forums are usually moderated, and the spammers and such are banned. admin | IP: Logged spin-off new thread VAordeal Forum Member Registered: 11/7/2004 Location:  Posts: 88 View member's profile Send Private Message Ignore this user RE: Internet newsgroups vs forums Posted: Friday, 2/25/2005: 1:08:38 PM     quality With newsgroups you tend to get alot of perverts strolling into topics. I just read a rather disgusting post in the rec.scouting or w/e it is called newsgroup. There are very sick people out there. Message boards beat newsgroups hands down any day. admin | IP: Logged spin-off new thread
