perhaps a forwarding service IE: Xcitan@XOC.com would actually send the email to marineifra@yahoo.com or something like that...so members can just notate another members name and send them an email?

I don't own xoc.com

Oh, ok.
I have thought of bringing back the supporting membership thing, and an email address would be a possible incentive, but with the number of useful, easy email accounts out there (gmail), it's somewhat pointless.

Basing it on a users name would be a cool feature, but the user can change their displayed name at will, so it would have to look up their login name.

If you simply send someone a PM, it will (by default) send them an email as well, which is similar to what you suggested.

yeah, but i want my email address to be Xcitan@XterraOwnersClub.com

DBAX@XTERRAOWNERSCLUB.COM

Yup, a mail forwarding service would be cool.

I'm sure you could script it so that if someone changes their username it would change their forward email address - we have faith in you

Should be easy to set up with Exim or Qmail...

I'll look into it, and more features in the new year.
There's a new Xterra coming out, and it's probably time to roll out a new XOC to go along with it.

You could change the name to Original Xterra Owners Club and register OXOC without a problem.

hehe I allready have a @sxfc.org address easier to type out of course it forwards to my @att.net address which is even shorter
