Firstly, I like the idea quoted in the mail just below my message. Secondly, to Burton:
I don't know how difficult it would be, but it would make things really nice if the list and the forums were linked. Basically, your email registered here and on the forums would be linked. Then, when you would send a message via the mailing list, it would be written to the forums along with replies. And, the other way around: New topics on the forums would get sent out just like making a new topic via the mailing list. Dunno how feasable it is, but it seemed like a good idea to me. -Atreus On Mon, Feb 9, 2009 at 5:55 PM, Aaron Rapp <r...@iz3d.com> wrote: > Unless....there was a usergroup on the forums devoted to Server Admins...in > which, a Valve employee could send an email to that usergroup so that > everyone gets a "no-reply" email informing us of the update.
