Yes, this list very focused and one of the best kept secrets on the internets. It has a great deal of Microsoft employees following it. It truly is an "advanced" listed. The topics that come up on here are only of the most complicated nature and are not those that be solved with a simple google or reading the MSDN docs a little closer. It's going to be sad to see it go.

Same here, but lists that uses email to distribute, that's one of the
main reasons asp.net it not working for me.

Hi,
That's a shame! I've been an avid lurker on this list (via various email
addresses) for years.  I'm gonna miss it.

So I'll ask the obvious question: Before simply re-creating this list on Google or Yahoo, where are good high signal-to-noise discussions taking place on advanced .NET topics? Can anyone recommend any good forums or
groups that already exist?

There's a very active alt.net discussion group, but it's much more focused on alt.net techniques than pure .NET. And there's Win Tech Off Topic, which has some good .NET folks on it but is (naturally enough) for subjects
generally considered off-topic elsewhere.

Anyone got any good suggestions?

Cheers,

  Geoff

Hi all

We are currently undertaking an infrastructure review at DevelopMentor and have realised that apart from this one list the listserv is not really used any more. Unfortunately we cannot really justify maintaining the server for
this one list and so we have decided to retire the listserv.

I created this list as a moderated list six and a half years ago and so
feel
a bit sad to see its passing, but the world has moved on from mail
reflectors to blogs, web forums and other discussion mediums.

We will be taking the server offline on the 30th September so you have a
bit
of time to get anything you need from the archives

Thanks for your involvement over the last few years
