Good idea. Sounds like a useful enhancement request. Subscription requests would fail and so would posts, but it would be kinder to disable the buttons and replace them with some text to say that the list has been closed. Would be useful to have the info available as part of the API. The info could be held either in the ES database or in config.lua. > Thanks > Sharan > >
