In my experience, processing notification posts is just as much work as
processing the header of the actual post. And it does not get around
thread drift that retains the original pre-drift headers.

With most forums, there are options to still receive email notifications of
new posts - usually per post or the daily digest format. Some even allow
users the options to "post" to the forum by email. I do not know the
specifics of the proboards.com site being discussed, but what you enjoy
about this list now is still potentially doable.

I see several posts about creating a forum. What that means to me is a
place I would have to remember to go to, in addition to the other places I
go for news. I really like getting email messages from my various lists
and frankly am not that likely to go look for posts on a site I have to go
log in to.
While I can’t say yahoo is the best place, I am able to keep track of
posts because they are delivered to my inbox.
If the new forum cannot do that, it is of limited use, at least to me.
Just my 2c.

Have you used www.proboards.com before? I'm not familiar with that one,
though the forums I am involved with are most likely professional paid
setups which we don't need nor want. I'd be a willing guinea pig.
A forum allows many things this list does not. You can create thread
categories - categories based on time periods would be a prime option, so
that if you have zero interest in one period, you don't need to
continually
be getting emails while others in this group discuss things in that
period.
(One thing that has always irked me about email listserves. Yes, I can
just
delete it based on the subject, but how often does the subject of the
thread stay relevant?)
It creates a place to go to. Right now, most of us get new posts as
emails
- right alongside our work email, family emails, and all others. Unless
you
have signed up using an email account purely for this list, things get
buried or overlooked. Many people like Facebook, Pinterest, etc because
there is something more there (though it also succumbs to the issue of
being too much to sort through as well). An actual forum gives us our
place.

So long as the name makes it clear that it's a forum for discussing
historic costume, any name is fine with me. Both of your suggestions
suit
me fine.
I'm willing to be a guinea pig, though I'll be away from May 1-6.

So I am going to create a forum at https://www.proboards.com . I
will
need a few guinea pigs to test it out and see if it even begins to be
what
we want. I need at least one or two each of tech savvy and Luddite
type
folks.
The first order of business is what to call it. Should we just call
it
Historic Costume? Or something that makes reference to its origins:
Like
HCostIndra.
Tell me what you all want!
