I currently run 7 mailing lists, and 3 forums – and I’ve
been running 3 of the mailing lists for over 14 years!
I have noticed something
over time… there are “mailing list folks” and “forum
folks”, but rarely are folks both.
Personally, I prefer the
convenience of a mailing list – all of the new messages are put in one
common place for me – my mailbox – and I don’t have to bounce
around all over the web to see the new news.
Others find mailing
lists intrusive – all that mail that piles up in one’s inbox –
and they prefer to browse forums at their own convenience and on their own
time.
I try to provide both
for y’all, and have even started providing “RSS Feeds”, for
those folks who like this new, third way to get information. (For those
of you who use RSS, you’ll now see the feed icons dotted around the
web site.)
In any event, there is
plenty of discussion on the forums about the whole Rec Room issue. Since
the majority of folks on this mailing list don’t regularly visit the
forums, please try to keep discussions about the forums on the forums
themselves.
Thanks,
-Dave
