I'm a good skim reader, so I've never had any problems dealing with my
email, h-costume or otherwise. I also don't need yet another place to
go to after Facebook, even though I can usually get through that fast too.

A forum allows many things this list does not. You can create thread
categories - categories based on time periods would be a prime option, so
that if you have zero interest in one period, you don't need to continually
be getting emails while others in this group discuss things in that period.
(One thing that has always irked me about email listserves. Yes, I can just
delete it based on the subject, but how often does the subject of the
thread stay relevant?)
It creates a place to go to. Right now, most of us get new posts as emails
- right alongside our work email, family emails, and all others. Unless you
have signed up using an email account purely for this list, things get
buried or overlooked. Many people like Facebook, Pinterest, etc because
there is something more there (though it also succumbs to the issue of
being too much to sort through as well). An actual forum gives us our
place.

So long as the name makes it clear that it's a forum for discussing
historic costume, any name is fine with me. Both of your suggestions suit
me fine.
I'm willing to be a guinea pig, though I'll be away from May 1-6.

So I am going to create a forum at https://www.proboards.com . I will
need a few guinea pigs to test it out and see if it even begins to be
what
we want. I need at least one or two each of tech savvy and Luddite
type
folks.
The first order of business is what to call it. Should we just call it
Historic Costume? Or something that makes reference to its origins:
Like
HCostIndra.
Tell me what you all want!
