There’s been attempts to get new Retro gaming forums going, but ultimately I think they struggle because it’s _another_ login to make & monitor etc..
So I propose this: a #RetroGaming email discussion list!
No new usernames or passwords required, no new places to monitor for goings on, it’s all in what you already have.
Fancy giving it a go? This is the sign-up link

@wiredfire Interesting idea! I'm in.
@wiredfire Is there an archive I'm not seeing, or is this BRAND spanking new?
@killyourfm the latter
@wiredfire That's actually a cracking idea. Used to love an email list.
@wiredfire We're biased, but this is an excellent idea.
@wiredfire I’d love to just view it read only. Are you alright with me tossing in a kill-the-newsletter email so I can put it in my RSS reader?
@be_far absolutely!
@be_far @wiredfire I didn't even know this was a thing, but I'll definitely be checking it out!
@wiredfire I'll try almost anything once, so I'm in!
@wiredfire Will this be archived publicly so we can find the discussion in 10 years even if the hosting company shuts down?
@dolmen no reason we can’t make that happen. The archive can be downloaded as an mbox file from which it could be either made available directly or pushed through something to turn it into a more HTML-friendly format
