The mail-archive.com might be a possible alternative. Not many of you probably
know this,
but there is an alternative archive for this mailing list already running there
http://www.mail-archive.com/softimage@listproc.autodesk.com/maillist.html
We (Stephen Blair and I) instated this, when there was a prolonged period of
troubles with the Google Groups.
It could use the archive of the Google Mailing List though, as it doesn’t go
that far back...

Did the mailing list just die down all of a sudden? Is everyone off to
si-community, if so i think thats not the best solution as forums tend to
dilute down the level of discussion over various boards which is not in my
opinion the best thing right now.

I agree that we cannot lose this community and another mailing list to run
concurrent with the SI List for the next couple years should be a good solution.

You do realize Google is as trigger happy with software as AD right? ;-P
I would prefer something less 'corporate'. And I don't really use Google
stuff too btw....

Thought that making a forum site, would demand too much time for
maintainance, and also we saw xsibase go down so, maybe a google group?

I think a new list is good idea. It can be even more awesome if all
of us can pull our resources together and ask and share about any DCC we are
using. Be it maya, houdini, max, modo, blender etc.
Let's make a new list and keep doing the same thing that we have been
doing over the years - Ask, Share and just be awesome !
For me personally, as a developer / td, I am ready to write tools for
anything.
I am still happy to answer any core math questions as it forms the
basis of most of our work in any package.
Let's do this in parallel to the list.

You don't seem to be aware of many things these days Luc-eric :P.
no... that wasn't fair of me i apologize.
My point was more to the effect that we should not wait for such
plans to occur.
Allowing people to ease into a new routine
Yes Francisco, i too think a new list would be a good option. one
that represents other demographics as well would make sense
Emilio, you are a true SI soldier and i share your passion, I'm not
encouraging an exodus here, but instigating an initiative to safeguard the
knoledge of this list, that knowledge is its members and we both know that many
here will not have the choice not to transition, i'd like these people to have
a place too, and i don't think a banner should be held aloft as a heavy
reminder of what we have lost. it would only lead to wat ever new structure to
become a mourning wall. i hope you understand
(please don't hate me !) :(

I'm not aware of plans to shut down this list. If there were, the
Google group could be used as a backup

My fellows, friends, comrades.
The recent events that have befallen our community enunciate a
breaking.
After this nothing or very little will be the same. People will
shortly be departing for uncertain pastures. One way or another, a long journey
through the night awaits us all, and we will find new lights and some will find
new apps to call home.
But I think that it is important we take steps to preserve this
community even if our paths seem to be at a crossing. For the knowledge and
solace woven here, surely they can not take.
If we are to move to a new list or to regroup around an
existing resource, eg: SI-community, we should do so soon before someone comes
along and shuts down this list scattering us to the winds of which not all of
us may find their way back.
I salute you all you are,were,and will be forever the best and
fines this industry could hope for.
