AOL PAI site

[Guest guest]

I have been asked by several members is they could have an AOL site for

chatting, primarily. That is certainly okay. The more sites the PAI is on,

the more people we will reach. Anyway, I was sharing with someone the history

of the PAI when I realized that is already in place.

The initial PAI was set up on AOL in 1999. AOL didn't have a good message

board at that time, so I set one up through egroups. Then egroups was sold to

Yahoo, that is how the message board became to be yahoo based. The AOL PAI

home page was kept where until I bought our own domain and web space. The AOL

group was continued as a way to reach out to the AOL community. It has, to

this day, continued to be effective, as we have members who come across the

AOL PAI site and then click on the links to the PAI home page and message

board. The AOL site was continued to give AOL members access to its chat

room and other services. I actually had forgotten this when I was approached

recently by members wanting an AOL chat room. AOL recently changed the

presentation of their groups and I don't particularly care for it. Since it

really serves as a " support group " and " chat Room " and not representative of

the Association, the casual appearance is okay. It can be found at: http://hometown.aol.com/karynwms/myhomepage/business.htmlhttp://hometown.aol.com/karynwms/myhomepage/business.html

That is where the chat room is. Since there wasn't a message board, I later

set up another AOL group with a message board. It can be found at:
