Mailing lists and to some degree e-mail in general are anachronistic at this
point.  More often than not lists that were very active in the 1990s are in
severe decline at this point.  Young people are using e-mail less and less
in favor of more immediate forms of communication.

Web forums can still be successful if you can get reach a critical mass of
posters and content.

"This is a war universe. War all the time. That is its nature. There may be
other universes based on all sorts of other principles, but ours seems to be
based on war and games. All games are basically hostile. Winners and losers.
We see them all around us: the winners and the losers. The losers can
oftentimes become winners, and the winners can very easily become losers.."
- William S. Burroughs
