This is one of the issues the Klingon Assault Group faced recently as
well. Originally, all their communications were done over email mailing
lists (yahoogroups), but many of our younger new members don't use email at
all so they weren't getting any of the information. We were loosing
members, because they saw nothing coming from the club.

To help fix this issue, I did a total revamp of the KAG website and added a
forum. At first the forums usage was minimal, but now more and more of our
communications are happening there as people find it much easier to
converse using that platform.

If the KLI wants to survive, it has a grow and adapt to the changing
times... Nal Komerex Khesterex.
