But the 7800 homebrew scene currently isn't big enough to warrant
a list of it's own. There isn't much traffic on the Stella list
most of the time, and traffic for 7800 related discussion will be
much less than that. It will probably just be like discussing one
more game project that you have no interest in for the 2600-only
people.
That's my main argument.
When you have a separate 7800 list you are only going to have a subset of
stella members actively subscribed and reading the discussions there.
The advantage to allowing it here is for it to INCUBATE here. The
stellalist members become a captive audience to the threads. I know this
may sound bad to some people, but who knows, maybe the 7800 will hook you
in in the process, or you'll feel compelled to help out those who ARE
hooked just because you are unwittingly getting all those 7800 messages you
wouldn't otherwise get (because you might not have subbed to the separate
list).
I do recall that we've had 7800-related discussions here in the past, I
think related to the encryption scheme it uses, and I don't think there was
a major catastrophe as a result...
