Re: [css-d] [ADMIN] Hello, my friends, hello

I haven’t posted on this because I’m not a “real” web developer, just a volunteer webmaster for my church, and wasn’t sure whether my 2¢ would be of any interest or relevance, but for what it’s worth, this list has been a really wonderfully helpful resource for me several times, over the years.

Re: [css-d] [ADMIN] Hello, my friends, hello

I'd have to put my vote with the mailing list not a forum. Every group I've been with that has moved to forums or FaceBook I've just lost interest in. There are very few forums I even bother to go to for help. Forums can be awkward to search and FaceBook is almost impossible. With mailing

If the forum is nicely laid out with good readable fonts then I don't mind but the link posted is not my cup of tea. Fonts are too small and very difficult to read. Microsoft Forums or Adobe Forums are fine because the display is clean and readable. i like to skim through the text and

I am also someone who reads the list discussion, without posting... I am grateful for the narrower focus and random access knowledge the mailing list provides; I use stack overflow in a very different way. Ruth Tait http://artbyrt.com

I'll jump back in here and say a big thank you to Mr. Meyer for all that he has done thus far. Both with this list and in general. Also, a big thank you to "D'Arcy J.M. Cain" for offering to pick up the list. I have learned a lot here and hope it stays around...one way or another. -- Tom

Hello, evolt.org has been the host of the css-d list for some time now. Unfortunately, evolt.org has fallen by the wayside and most of the sysadmin team has moved away from being active members of the Web community so no one was monitoring the list closely. As the css-d community is deciding on

Hi, evolt.org is financed through donations and ad revenue from browsers.evolt.org. (Although, I believe, that donations are now mainly from only the founding members of evolt.org since the decline.) When lists like css-d and the javascript list were looking for hosting, we donated our resources

Hi Eric, I'am a member of the list for already quite some years. And i hope the list will continue as is. I always got great help from the other subscribers. As others also have written, the list is a great place to turn to if you have a problem you can't figure out yourself. And indeed in

Re: [css-d] [ADMIN] Hello, my friends, hello

Is it the reality that someone has to give their time and energy to operate a mailing list? Is the one who has been doing it now reluctant? Do those resources have to be found? Should that be discussed? Loving the list might have to lead to commitment. Chuck M Sent from my Virgin Mobile
