i've been subscribed to and following this list since 2001 (when JMC hosted it, then UCSB). nearly 149000 read emails in my [sc-users] mailbox. it's a goldmine created by all the fantastic people here. i'm against moving discussions over to an unknown forum and to github (microsoft) and i'm surprised not more are. we're giving up something very rare and precious here... longevity, community and known, responsible ownership. and for what... shiny colourful icons? well, as "resistance is futile" i guess i'll follow suit. but i'll only subscribe to the new forum in great disharmony, groaning... {Splay.ar(LinCongL.ar((1..9)*999,1.05,LFNoise1.kr(1).range(0.91,0.99))/3)}.play _f > 9 juni 2021 kl. 17:32 skrev josh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx: > > Thank you Scott. > I’ll miss the lists but am grateful for all the info and friendships I’ve made on them over the years. > Cheers! > Josh > > /* > Josh Parmenter > www.realizedsound.net/josh > */ > >> On Jun 9, 2021, at 06:34, miguel.negrao-lists@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx wrote: >> >> Hi >> >> I just wanted to thank Scott for having managed the lists for so long.

There are a number of issues, but the most immediate is that the list archiving software is basically not up to modern standards and is no longer maintained. It will need to be decommissioned, and is unlikely to be immediately replaced as there’s low usage for it. >>> There is a broader question about the list software itself.
