I didn't look to see what mailing list this was on.. AFMUG.... this should be voiced on the WISPA Mailing lists... no one here will do anything about it, but voicing it there will voice to those who can do something.

I thought the discussion a year or two ago was that it would be a forum / email list hybrid?

I don’t use the book of face so I’m unfamiliar.

I think wispa should offer every opportunity for us to communicate and not limit it to just forums.  Forums are get for knowledge base/tech support type stuff because you have   a threaded searchable archive. But it’s a repository of knowledge, not a communications platform for interactive daily stuff.  I check wispa, animal farm and NANOG email lists multiple times a day.  Cambium went to forums which makes sense for a solutions provider so that they have the searchable database, but I go there maybe monthly to check for new software or known issues.  But I’m not very active in their community, mostly because I don’t have time to also go login and check a forum.  Email is constantly flowing my way and I interact with it all throughout the day.

One way to find out I guess is to gather some data.  Find out how many messages are currently being sent and then look at the data after it’s forums only.  My money is on a steep decline in engagement...I know personally I won’t be on there.  Not because I don’t want to be there, but it’s simply I don’t have the time to add yet another thing to go log into and check to my daily life.

You can catch me on afmug (animal farm) or nanog

    Yes it is going away to a forum.  Personally not a fan myself but
    demand seems to be more for forums than the mailing lists.  Will
    also make some of the committee work that happens easier so I have
    been told.

    Most of the day to day conversation happens on Facebook anymore...
    was the only reason I ever signed up.  Not sure what was so wrong
    about e-mail :-)

    I thought the WISPA email list was going to be shut off.  But
    just now I got an email.  Like to delete my folder once it is
    defunct. ____
