One of the features I like about groups.io
When we can no longer run our own services we might as well abandon the entire AMPRNet...

Too much messages and not enough time to read... Perhaps i will be off topic.
No need to another list. I prefer information in my mailbox but anyway i will follow Brian and no one else.
Best regards, Ludovic - F5PBG

That was always one of the good things that amprnet did - as was discussed earlier (usenet/nntp for example) was something created by BK and if I'm not mistaken it's still the primary forwarding system for W0RLI's snos. In fact, many guys still run a variant of xNOS and we all know the age of nos!
If there's a technical issue with the mailman system or if it's getting punted by UCSD, I can understand a temporary move of sorts while things get sorted out. A few days of no 44-net mail wouldn't be the end of the world either while repairs are done. Of course, backups are key as well.
If we start to move services out of our direct physical control, what would happen if 44/8's control was moved to an outside entity not involved with amateur radio? I would think that'd be the beginning of the end of amprnet as we know it to parallel what Rob said. <$.02>
Not been on the group for a long time, will follow where the river goes, but group.io is a nice place, I use it for a few group and it works well. I also like Facebook, but that is another story.
