(I see the same phenomenon with the Video Toaster mailing list vs. the newsgroup.) Stella gains new subscribers at an average rate of 3-5 people a week and has well over a hundred members. I'm not sure where they are finding out about it, but the list has been around long enough to gain a reputation, which is great. I think a mailing list is well suited for this kind of niche subjectmatter, and biglist's threaded HTML archive is very nice. I don't even have to archive Stella messages locally because of this. If all news-servers carried the newsgroup I might be convinced to shut down stella and encourage people to switch over, but until then, I'd suggest people stay here for the sake of unifying the discussions. ========================================================================== == Glenn Saunders --3D Graphics / Videography / Web development-- == == krishna@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/1698 == == Stella@20 video page http://www.primenet.com/~krishna == ========================================================================== -- Archives (includes files) at http://www.biglist.com/lists/stella/archives/ Unsub & more at http://www.biglist.com/lists/stella/stella.html
