I for one, if it went to a web page based format. I'm gone, I'm done, I'm outta here.

Just like a web based E Mail I would stop all e mail completely if I had to go with a web based e mail system.

Ultra slow, and have to actually make an effort to go and read crap. so 90% of the time it never happens. where now it all is neatly delivered to you.

Now if like a yahoo group[ where you can have both fine. let the web page folk have their page and e mail folk still have their e mail both are happy.
But web based only and I'm done.

Sorry to interrupt the "please copy" discussion, but...

I wonder what everyone thinks about transitioning this 1980s-style email list over to a modern web-based forum format such as vBulletin?

Advantages:
-Real-time posting, so that someone's question doesn't get 15 almost identical replies caused by the multi-hour delay from the time a post is made until it is approved for distribution -An easier way to follow a topic, seeing all previous, relevant posts on the topic in a logical sequence
-An easier way to follow a topic, as each subject is in its own thread
-Easy access to archives and search
-Ability to easily skip threads/posts that don't interest you.

With all the tech-savvy people that participate here, I'm surprised this hasn't been addressed before, or has it? The 3830scores web site was a great improvement over the earlier 3830 list. Why not the same for cq-contest - your thoughts?
