Here there is no logins, no issues of mods deleting our posts and everyone gets a fair word. Please valve, don't take away our mailing list. I strongly dislike forums, logging in just for a quick reply gets very old, opening my inbox to find what I need is just what we all need, hence our reason for being here. -Original Message- From: hlds-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com [mailto:hlds-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com] On Behalf Of Mike Stiehm Sent: Monday, February 09, 2009 7:23 PM To: Half-Life dedicated Win32 server mailing list Subject: Re: [hlds] Important notice regarding the HLDS mailing lists I love the fact that I can get updates from the list via email. It looks like a lot of admins use blackbarrys or iPhones and the ability to use that to interact with the list is crucial. Another nice thing about this list is that it's made up of mostly mature server admins and not a lot of the general public so as bad as it gets we don't have to deal with to many non-stop B.S. sessions.

The intent of migrating to the forums was to leverage the benefits and features of the forums to further strengthen the community, giving us a central spot to gather feedback. The forum software is continually being updated by vBulletin and is flexible enough to also allow us to add our own features. To address a couple of specific concerns about the forums: - Membership - We can keep the membership in the DS forums private so that random forum users cannot post. - Moderation - We can assign moderators for specific forums. Moderators would be volunteers from the current mailing list participants. - Forum server performance - We have upgraded the system that runs the forums and we do not experience the lag we were experiencing in the past - The forums are accessible to more people than the mailing list.
