I wouldn't put to much time into it until you know that people will use it. At least one person in my HOA doesn't even have a computer. Others are so burnt out at work that they don't turn on their home computers. (I know because I set up an HOA from scratch with the help of an attorney friend - a long story for another time.)
Try the forum. . .it would work if you can get almost unanimous agreement to use it from your members. . .plus it should be recognized in the bylaws as such.
Yeah I am not worried about people using it mainly its alot of people in my age range 25 - 30 all of them are constently on the computer and such. But thanks cause I could see how that would be a problem everyone in our HOA currently uses email to contact anyone else in it right now.
Email me if this gets too off topic. The individual owners of record should be available through the assessor office. Most counties nowadays have plot maps, parcel numbers and registered owners listed at the assessors office website.
Once the forum is established it can become the perfect bulletin board for the members. Its good that everyone is on email. . .that's a great first step.
NOt sure where you went with that one Pan. Not sure what is meant by assessor's office and with the plot maps and so forth. Could you elaborate more? Really I was just asked to make the site for them.
