IMO - you'd be better off taking the group to a highly moderated Web
based forum of some kind (hosted on CHN if you want). The tech is
simply better, and it can be integrated right into where the rest of
the news/scores/stats are happening. You get the best of both worlds
that way. But yes, I agree that it would be nice to have "high-level"
conversation available again - as opposed to the typical online forum
or comments section of a web page. The only thing that has ever
stopped CHN from doing this is the time it takes to moderate it.
