X-Men & X-Trainees,

So Husk and myself were talking about the idea of having a message board website where those of us who want to can interact with people who want to know more about the X-Men. Answer questions, and just generally chat. Good public relations and stuff, you know?

I'd be willing to moderate it or whatever. I could even make it possibly if our resident tech guru would rather I do it.

Let me know, A, if you agree or disagree with the idea, and B, whether you would be interested in being a part of it.

I can't see this as a bad idea, though I warn you about the kind of traffic you're inviting. Did you know you can call and email the school, and that people now associate the Xavier's School with the X-Men - so we get countless calls and emails each day for us?

Usually it's junk, often it's hatemail, but occasionally we get good questions. I think having the forum/website would save Candice and I a lot of work.

There are actually a few legitimate calls for help I've gotten in the past day or so, and I'm about to start suggesting we have some on-site training with a few. I'll be in touch about that.

But I agree, the website is a good idea, and it'd be good PR. You should see the last website *I* made. Not quite as popular as you'd think.

Have at. Let me know if you need some help.

Hello Bobby,

I think this is a good idea, although it would have more dangerous potential than you might realize. It would attract both positive and negative attention. And I am sure I don't need to tell you the consequences if you got comfortable and began to say too much. Also, the senior members of the X-Men should post only anonymously, or not at all. Some of us need to keep a low profile. (Er-hm, Remy.)

But we could always use to improve our PR as a friendly group. As long as you are careful, and particularly if Forge helps you, I would say go ahead.

Hey, I'd be willing to help out. I know my way around a computer fairly well.

I can make it so I (or someone else) has to okay the posts before they show up on the site. To filter out the hatemail. Also, Storm...I know I count as senior member (unless you mean senior as in old. I mean, not old--but older...eheheh ...), but...Maybe those of us who aren't wanted criminals could use our codenames? Pleeeeeeeasemyfavoritestteacherever??? ?

I think that filtering the posts is a perfect idea.

We'll just say senior members, but mean it in a different sense this time (longer with the team). Let's not coin a new phrase which will force me to admit I'm getting old...er, eh, Bobby?

As for you in particular, I still don't know if it would be a good idea. You did the magazine, which turned out well, but your time away... it worries me that you should be so open so soon after that negative publicity...

I am impervious to your pleading. (Oh, but you're so cute!)

Bandero, what do you think?

He thinks I'm cute too right Peggy?

WAIT. I have an idea. What. If...

I went by a different name? Like... 'Drake Roberts'?! Eh? Eh?
