There are a bunch of groups here.
I want to create a group called “Australia” for Austro-libertarians living in Australia to join. How do I do that?
Also, do all the groups on this site have to be related to liberty/economics? What if I want to use the site as a substitute for Google Groups and create groups for my personal hobbies (e.g. music, rockclimbing, swimming) and then invite my non-libertarian friends to join?
I don’t think that’s wise. LvMI will bear the costs of these groups, and would be associated with these groups, and for what? so that they can get value from pursuing ends which are not aligned with the ends of LvMI…
When I type mises.com into my browser I get the following message:
“The page cannot be displayed because an internal server error has occurred.”
you should use the url: http://mises.org
Yeah, but the whole reason I got an @mises.com email was so I could promote the Ludwig von Mises Institute. If mises.com isn’t working, it kinda defeats the purpose…
I’ll see if I can get this fixed
ok mises.com is fixed
I disagree, and so does the entire economy of the Internet.
The provision of “free” services brings in “customers”. In your case, this means attracting people to the libertarian environment of the website. Surely the intended function of the website, and organization, is to spread libertarian thought. This is going to be accomplished, almost cost-free, by attracting other people who will then encounter those thoughts here, where a higher percentage will be like-minded with the organization’s philosophy in the first place.
What’s more, the cost of running such a board is relatively microscopic, compared to the number of users attracted, and thus exposed to libertarian ideas. A single server should easily be able to support thousands of simultaneous users…note that I say this as a professional web developer.
