ISEN-ASTC-L is a service of the Association of Science-Technology Centers
Incorporated, a worldwide network of science museums and related institutions.
*****************************************************************************

Hear hear!  In my experience, the migration of an email list to a web 
forum is usually the death-knell of most participation if there is not 
an easy one-step way to post and respond.

I see that like most forums there is an option to get an email for each 
post, but did not see if posting or replying required going through the 
web forum (usually the case).

This personally won't make a great change for me, as I'm mainly a lurker 
(who has thoroughly enjoyed and learned much from the posts here!), but 
any time you introduce more steps to participation you will reduce the 
number of people who take them.

In any case, thanks for having such a great list!

What I love about old-fashioned listservs is that I don't have to take numerous extra steps to participate and can keep working from my email account while I read and occasionally send out or respond to posts.  I guess I'm old fashioned too, and now like many other communities I've been part of before, I'll probably start to slowly fade away from this one as well, as there's not enough time in the day to stop what I'm doing and login to this, login to that.  But if there's the option to keep participating solely via email, please do tell!

ASTC is consolidating some of our existing platforms, including this listserv, into one central location, community.astc.org. The listserv will migrate to the new location over the next few weeks and be called the General Forum. We will notify you again once the General Forum is up and running. The current ISEN-ASTC-L listserv will shut down on December 9, 2013.

Everyone currently subscribed to the listserv will automatically be subscribed to the General Forum with the same email notification settings they currently have. The login information you use for the ASTC Community will be the same username and password you use to read Dimensions online, register for conference, or update your information at members.astc.org. To learn how to retrieve your username and password and join the new community, please visit www.astc.org/about/pdf/HLhowto.pdf<http://www.astc.org/about/pdf/HLhowto.pdf>.

As a part of other groups in the Community, you will be able to participate in discussions, share resources, plan events, and connect with other members of the museum field from around the world.
