[Important] Lisa's Birthday, and announcing LisaList2!

Folks, today is the Lisa's 36th birthday (and a perfect day for this announcement, if a bit too early!)

We'd like to take some time to wish our favorite machine a Happy Birthday. For most of us, she's lasted well beyond Apple's intended lifetime, and through our collective efforts, we've pooled, and gathered lots of esoteric knowledge, and skills to keep her alive and well, far, far, beyond her planned obsolescence of 1995.

And while this mailing list, which has been going for 19 years, now, and is in at least its second incarnation, has served us well so far, it's time to move on to its next incarnation. It seems that for many of us, myself included now, it is becoming difficult to post here via email. Some aren't even able to register.

To address this, we're introducing https://lisalist2.com, which is hosted on an Simple Machines Forum instance.

Over the next few weeks, we plan to add many new features, including an email gateway - so that we could perhaps replicate mailing list functionality for those of us (myself included) that prefer mailing lists over forums, as well as possibly importing the old archived messages from LisaList, so we don't lose their knowledge and wisdom.

(We'll setup votes for the various options of what to do with the old messages, and how to best import them, as well as how to best organize our new forum, and what other features we'll want.)

So please take the time to register yourself with the new site, and join us on our new Lisa adventures!

Please keep in mind that the site is under construction, so there may be many potholes we'll need to fix, and don't panic if it goes offline, here and there, as we fix things, (for example the board can't yet send email.)

[Since early summer of 2018, a few of us have tried to contact Dan, The List Mom, to get these issues resolved without success despite trying multiple avenues, included going as far as Twitter and LinkedIn. We've had zero response, so we're assuming that the list is running itself at this point, and so we've been working on a fix to this. No doubt some of the problems are caused by Google Groups and have little to do with Dan, however, our inability to contact him for half a year has us worried.]
