Tim,

As a user and a member of the list I was never asked what served me best and I don’t see where anyone else was asked what works for them either. The change seems to have been done by decree not by community consensus and was presented as use the forum or take a hike. Had this move actually been discussed and the features of the new site been discussed and the needs of the users considered maybe a few more of us would have moved. It was not until a few days ago when this list came alive again that I even knew of any ability to use the new forum in a listserv format. Again communication with the asl userbase seems lacking.

We didn't want to splinter out users. That's why everyone at Allstar agreed to shut this list down.

Tim,

When the list moved to a web forum the community was never asked about this nor was it shown that one could continue to subscribe as a mailing list. Web forums do not serve a community well where one has to go to the forum regularly to participate. An email list comes to you. Much easier for the list subscribers to participate and communicate. I don’t like to see the community broken apart and splintered as it is but better communication between the board, the tech committee, and the users would go a long way toward working out many of the issues that have come up and caused this divide. Until the board gets its act together and starts running this in the interest of the userbase doing what is needed on the business side to remain functional as required by law this division is likely to remain.

This list moved to https://community.allstarlink.org which is both a web forum and a list server. All of the mailman list archives as of that time are searchable within the forum site itself. Also you can sign into the forum with the email address you used here and all of you old posts back to the beginning of the mailman list will show up under you account.

The mailman list was closed without mentioning it had been updated to community. Now that it's temporarily back the opportunity to correct that presents its self. Activity on the community site has been good and all are welcome to join us there. 

73 and Merry Christmas to all.

I might have missed an email but I thought this email list was shut down.
Glad to see it up. I found value in it.
