It doesn't seem like members@ is being used much anyways.  It's so low traffic, 
that I thought I got removed for some reason.   

At least we still have AFMUG, amirite?

  Yep.   While I really thing that the WISPA mailing lists are important, 
moving it to a forum and discontinuing mailing list would be a bad idea for 
WISPA.

  When a couple non-WISPA FB groups became popular, WISPA mailing list traffic 
plummeted.

  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 :-)

      You mean the main members list?  Where did you hear it was going away?

      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.
