When a couple non-WISPA FB groups became popular, WISPA mailing list traffic plummeted. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions Midwest Internet Exchange The Brothers WISP ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ From: "Sean Heskett" <af...@zirkel.us> To: "AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group" <af@af.afmug.com> Sent: Monday, January 6, 2020 11:54:41 PM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] WISPA email list 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. 2 cents -Sean You can catch me on afmug (animal farm) or nanog On Mon, Jan 6, 2020 at 10:21 PM Daniel White <dwh...@atheral.com> wrote: 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.
