That depends on whether you look at a community as a place where people are talking now, or as a repository of knowledge over time. F'rex, I'm a member of a story announcement comm on LJ. It has six years of posts. We wanted to be able to tag all the old posts so that new people could find stories they wanted to read, but the maintainer had vanished completely. In that case, moving to new comm wouldn't have addressed the problem at all -- we needed a new maintainer. > Andy love Anna _______________________________________________ dw-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.dwscoalition.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dw-discuss
