I know not everyone is signed up to audiogames.net, I was however suggesting
that rather than changing the entire format of the list, people who might
prefer a forum could! sign up there if they wished.
Several people on audiogames.net are not on this list, because they prefer a
forum format, and visa versa. Therefore having two forums would seem
overkill imho, where as the current situation gives alternatives.
Beware the grue!

A google group would be a good idea. It provides a forum-like
interface to a group. I think it'dl et you post to a list even ifyou
aren't subscribed.
There is already a forum discussing similar topics on audiogames.net.
I'd like an official gamers forum to replace the gamers list because
not everyone who is on the list is signed up for the audiogames.net
forum, nor would they necessarily sign up to a forum created by you
or I. Of course this would mean that everyone would have to learn to
interact on a forum instead of a mailing list. Now I know it might be
scary at first, but it's really easy when you used to it, and you'll
eventually find it quite fun! Try it. It won't bite.

There has been a lot of list traffic lately, much of which consists of
short messages followed by more short messages answering the simple
questions asked in the original short messages (read the
documentation, stop asking inane questions and look something up for
yourself for once, etc).
How about a forum?
Here are some key benefits:
- We'd all have less clutter in our inboxes.
- Message length, quotation and other list requirements would no
longer be an issue
- Accounts can be locked, possibly liimiting spoofing and other internet
garbage
- Some forums have mailing-list interfaces allowing those who wish to
follow (and possibly respond to) traffic to do so through email.
Let's do it! To put it bluntly I'm sick of mailing lists. Let's take
the blindgamers discussion group into the 21st freakin' century.
Thoughts?
Feel free to be less biased and/or inflamatory than I am.
