IDEA: Email List for the forums.

#1 Post by mikey pizano » Fri Jan 25, 2008 2:03 pm

Hey, since this is a forum and we can't just chat with each other. How about we make a email list. We can either just port our email addresses in this thread or someone can make a Yahoo group (or similar) for the sole purpose of general chatting.

I will start it off:

nitro_rcer(AT)verizon(DOT)net

You can always contact each other via PMs. I don't think posting email addresses publicly is a good idea, who wants more spam?
Now: T60 2613-EKU | T23 2647-9NU | 600X 2645-9FU | HP 100LX
Past: X31 2673-Y13 | T41 2374-3HU | T22 2647-AEU

Rules of the road :thumbs-UP:

Thats why I used the (AT) and (DOT) things. Most spam bots just look for the mailto: links I think. Sorry I posted in wrong section.

Was there opposition in the past against using the off-topic forum (Talk about "WhatEVER !") for this purpose?

No, not a good idea. If I feel I need to chat to someone I can send a PM and exchange e-mail addresses. If more people need to be involved then there's always chat-rooms.
