All - Some of you may know me as the list-admin of the Go-Betweens Mailing List: tallulah@discontent.com I wanted to let you all know that my server hard-crashed on Feburary 2. I have since rebuilt the server on brand-new hardware and placed it in a colocations rack space (previously, it had been on a residential DSL line). However, the list membership data was lost with the old hard-drive, so I have no way of contacting list members. Therefore, I'm posting here to let people know why the list has not been reachable for a month. But not having heard or seen any posts wondering where it had gone makes me wonder if there is still a desire for such a list to exist. There seems to be a lot more con this site in terms of current and ongoing conversation - do fans feel like this is a better venue for all things GB? I'd like to hear from all of you - I'd be equally happy to restart the mailing list or to let this message board fully replace it. A post in this thread or an email to me (brandon@discontent.com)with your opinion would be great! Brandon |

Keep it going it's more like an unoficial MB. It's never as much fun when you've got permission. |

heh..well, it's not meant to be competition at all! Tallulah was around long before I was a fan...probably for almost 10 years by now. As I mentioned, just wanted to make sure that folks were still interested in it, 'cos I'll maintain it as long as there's interest. |

I'll second Jerry's support! Always a useful way of distributing those things we are not allowed to mention here. Cough. |

I think it's good to have an alternative. There must be a reason why people would choose to use Tallullah instead of posting here. |

hey Brandon I'll second the return of Tallulah ... I've posted a few times over the last month and wondered why no one replied. |

Hi Brandon, I've just read your message. Well, I'm glad to read that everything is ok with you. I really do appreciate a restart of the tallulah mailing list as i prefer it as a more interactive communication. Best regards, Chris |
