Subject: What about testimonials ?

- 2 yahoo groups closed
- geocities/befree11us closed
- new site 'hismasterfootfalls'(ezboard) closed

May I kindly ask the moderators of this group and/or the founders of the late Yahoo group (the one with 2500+ messages) -- I don't know whether they are the same persons --
what they intend to do about the precious testimonials that were on those boards ? (I hope there are backup copies!)
- it is clearly risky to create any new group on yahoo or similar providers: they give up easily to any legal threat.
- therefore it would be a better idea to set up a new site with a privately owned domain name (i.e not hosted by yahoo etc) that would be both a discussion group and a repository of testimonials and information.
- it would be much less vulnerable
- the drawback is that it needs its own software (maybe some free software can be found). I have a bit of competence in this field, but I am badly lacking of time.
- another problem is that the owners of this site would be directly exposed to legal threats
- to protect against this, a good idea could be to set it in a country outside US (I think of France or Germany, which are in the lead of anti-cult struggle)
- supplementary tactics could also to move the site to another domain name (while keeping links) each time it is seriously threatened.
- after all there are some anti-cult sites that have resisted for years, and against fierce opponents like Sc|%\t@!@gy...

[Sorry if I look like giving advice while doing nothing!]
Maybe there are projects in progress I am not aware of ?
