Take a Tour
Your online groups will be on a site of their own.
The home page of your site will show the site introduction that you create,
and the latest topics in public groups on your site, as in the following
example.
With OnlineGroups.Net, groups can easily hold
conversations using email and the web, even when they are discussing
several topics at the same time. People can easily
share files associated with the conversations. All
this can be done in public or private online groups,
that are all on a site of your own.
Hold Conversations Online
Group members can make posts using the Web interface to the
group, or using email.
All posts are stored on the Web, for all members to see.
In addition, users can customise the delivery options, receiving
an email every time someone posts, a daily email digest of topics,
or just use the Web!

Share Files
Upload files to an online group, using email

people can then download the files using either method.
People will not get full mail boxes, or slow connections, as
the full file is not sent out with the messages.
