Hi Al, No it doesn't cost money to use Google Groups or Yahoo Groups but there were a number of reasons why we decided to purchase our domain, pay for a mail server, and manually run the list ourselves. For one thing when we made the switch Yahoo was beginning to introduce ccapchas that were not accessible and made it difficult for people to join Audyssey or login to their Yahoo accounts etc. For another Yahoo Groups has become rather notorious for spam, and we didn't want to deal with that sort of thing. Finally, with our own domain we were hoping to create a website similar to audiogames.net where we would host all issues of the magazine, contain a database of links for current game developers, and perhaps a news section containing latest releases etc. Do to time constraints the website hasn't appeared, but it is still on the todo list and we want the website and list to all be under the Audyssey domain when we find time to create it.
