Question...Why do things have to go out of time frame? am an
anthropology enthusiast so I find these kinds of things fascinating. I
admit I like many of the older stuff while advancing some things.
Who was this person you speak of, someone from Generation X, Y or Z?

play some of his recordings in an Internet chat room for people to
hear. Nobody could receive the files because nobody used Facebook or
Twitter. He complained because he could not send them to anyone, and,
finally, after this went on for about 6 months every week, he set up
an Email account. Whether it might seem obsolete to the younger
crowd, it is accessible to everyone, so is not something that should
be done away with just because it has been around for a long time.
What works works, and if it does work, don't discard it.

Hi Tom.
Well I know people do comment about mailing lists being old
fashioned, but actually there are still lots of them around and
likely to be more considdering that people now get E-mail on their
tablets, phones, even tvs, heck, there are still! some very well
established newsgroups out there, it's all about choice hwich is why
I'm in favour of keeping the mailing list open.
if google groups is no longer workable (I admit it's been a while
since I looked into their interface), then another system might work,
though obviously that's a matter for those who run the list to decide
upon since it's yourself and the other mods who must deal with the
interface and admin console.
Indeed, this is a major difference between mailing lists and forums,
different forums can change access dramatically, and I've seen
everything from very accessible systems like Punbb, (which
audiogames.net uses), to all sorts of silly things such as proboards
or even custom built systems.
Forums really can change in access and usability as much as web pages
can, where as a mailing list just gives out E-mails to members and
it's accessibility is thus entirely dependent upon a members' E-mail
client, which again is a major advantage.
All the best,
Dark.
