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 :-)

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.
