[Tlhingan-hol] Mailing List vs Forum vs. Social Media (was Re: How would you feel about new Klingon)

[Robyn Stewart]

You have to go to a forum and navigate it to remain current with what's
going on.  As the days lengthen and the snow melts, I have only time to scan
tlhIngan-Hol messages, and read a few, but at least I get them and can see
what's going on in the same medium that I am checking anyway.  Depending on
the  forum software, it would also probably be harder to filter messages on
content and sender.  

 

Another thing I prefer about e-mail is that mine is pure text, making it
impossible for idiots to fill messages with dancing smilies. You could
probably compromise with a system that automatically posted e-mails to a
forum or turned forum posts into e-mails, except for the e-mails of anyone
who used animated emojies: their accounts should simply be deleted.

(I'm starting a new thread title because the "digest" mail I got is, as
usual, garbled and I don't really know who started that line. Nor can I see
the archive to double-check).


SoQwIj vIngajmoH: I prefer forums, I dislike social media (too ephemeral),
and the mailing list has too many (technical) shortcomings (by virtue of
being email).

 

I've set up a forum for klingon some time ago, but there was not much
response. Take a look if you want: http://tlhingan.at/qep/ .
