I like this layout. Nice to be able to follow one thread as simply as this.
If Yahoo goes 'Washington Sq.' this is a pretty reasonable compromise in my
humble opinion!

I had assumed (wrongly it seems) that it was from Kill Straker and I've been anxiously waiting to see which one of us is the punk.

Kill Straker.... Just before Straker hauls off and wallops Foster! Great moment!

Whereas Washington Square is from 'Conflict' .... Total Shutdown.
The only problem I have with this site is that I seem to have to put in my email and password everytime I wan to post anything.. or is that a cunning plan to stop me!!

AW: [SHADO] Re: SHADO may need to abandon YahooGroups... (?)

Hi,

all it would need is signing up with a host/provider who provides e.g. GNU Mailman mailing lists for his accounts. The members can be transferred to the new maillist, Mailman can be set up so it gathers an archive much like Yahoo Groups and a file directory can be set up on the main html site to display the old archives plus newly added data files.

Cheers

An

Actually, it WAS supposed to be from KILL STRAKER... I don't know my
"Super Chicken" well enough to quote it... :-)

Basically the quote in Super Chicken which was a mid-60's cartoon was when ever
anything happened to the sidekick Fred he was told "You knew the job was
dangerous when you took it."

Ahh, I see... well, when I took this job back in 1994, I had no idea
that I'd still be doing it 2010!

Maybe so, but the new interface in the website has been seriously
downgraded:

1. no HTML or RTF allowed in messages
2. no working HTML links
3. quoting characters (">") removed so you can't follow who is replied
to what
4. replying to messages no longer quotes the text you are replying to

I don't know what they have in mind for the e-mail interface, as they
haven't touched that yet.

I think we may find that there are a number of things that we take for
granted here that may suddenly stop working.

Which I why I'm looking at a "Plan B".

As somone who's been on the list since about a week after it originally
launched (somewhere back in the mesozoic era), I should have great
attachment to email lists, but my vote is that they've had their day. Forums
offer much more. I think Marc mentioned that he disliked the Fanderson
forum, but my experience has been the opposite, I've gotten a lot of
enjoyment out of it.

Just my tuppenth worth.

It's not that I DISLIKE the Fanderson forum, I simply forget
about it... at least SHADO constantly reminds me that I've
got new messages by putting them in my inbox...

Which is fine if one actively wants more. Many list members may be quite content with what we have now - I am - and I probably wouldn't bother adding another forum to my list. With the list, having all new content delivered to my inbox is very convenient as it's pushed at me rather than me have to pull.

The other thing about forums is they tend to need more moderation. I'm guessing Marc wouldn't welcome that. ;-)

Okay, I now hear that Yahoo has backed off on their remodel of YahooGroups, so there is no need for me to try and move this list elsewhere (and just as I was starting to like GoogleGroups!).

I'll leave up the mirror on Nabble.com, as it is easier to search, and some may prefer the forum interface. And hopefully we'll be able to resurrect some of those pre-2000 messages that aren't on the Yahoo archive.
