Re: Request for a private Military Forum
Very simple; The best way to do this is to ask for there units or ships, and dog tag numbers.
My idea is that a member would have to type in his ID each time he wanted entrance, and of course IE 7 and Firefox will remember those. A hacker or spammer would not have or hopefully not access to ID's and ship or unit numbers.
If a hacker tried and we caught him, just think, there is an agency that pays a reward for people impersonating Military people.

Is this intended just for active duty? Will veterans be welcome?
I don't like having the forum private. It won't necessarily degenerate into politics, but I think it will almost surely degenerate into inter-branch bickering whether public or private.
Why not set up your own Yahoo group for it? Chances are they already have one. Check these out:

Great, so when I piss off someone in that forum he can call up my CO and tell them I tried to send him illegal porn or something. That makes the forum sound even better. |
