Re: DIS: Mailing lists act strange

Yes, I am subscribed to all lists already, but I sent my registration in
BUS about 7 hours ago, and nobody has reacted yet.
My spam folder is empty by the way.

DIS: Mailing lists act strange

Hello,

The mailing lists of Agora are acting strange. I wanted to register, and I
got a mail back with BUS: in the subject line, but I do not receive other
mails from the mailing list, while I got a "Welcome to the agora-discussion
mailing list"-mail. Does anybody know why this is?

But what do we do with Offices that are Vacant right now? I mean you can't
force first-class players to held Offices i think.

Thanks, this answers a lot of my questions. But how does VVLOP work? And is
the system with Props and Pilots etc. still in use?
