Netmeeting woudln't work for what I have in mind. Just think of IRC, there
wouldn't be a need for it if Netmeeting could be used as a forum. In an
online forum, netizens come and go freely at any time. With netmeeting you
need a dedicated time and host, and you need to know the IP address of at
least one other member currently in the meeting, otherwise you would have to
have a Netmeeting session perpetually open on a dedicated machine,
automatically accepting connections, not sure I would trust Netmeeting
security-wise. Plus, I really doubt that Netmeeting would scale well to more
than a few users. A forum could have unlimited (for all practical purposes)
users.
