I am waiting to hear from the Quiltropolis owner what will happen. The last I heard was he had just about given up on repairing the current program we use for our webboard and class room site, and was searching for an alternate.

I too, have been looking for alternate on-line chat/white board program - the problem is the maximum number of guests a program can "host". We have often hit near 50 and those programs start getting a bit pricey and it is a personal expense. I've been paying about 35/month over and above my other high speed expenses, and dont want to exceed that.

I have looked at dabble, scribl and scribble and the GE innovative programs. The whiteboards are huge but the chat area shrinks... we need both. Whatever; it means getting a new url up and everyone may have to re-register....IF quiltropolis doesnt find something suitable.

I will be posting as soon as we hear anything. In the meantime the search continues.any ideas from users are welcome.
