E-mail can be easily downloaded to a PDA or netbook and carried. This means I can read it on the plane, train, airport, at lunch at work (a lot of RPG sites are blocked by my company's filters). I _have_ been to both the Piazza, the WotC forums, Dragonsfoot forums and of course the Vaults. I have an active interest in Mystara, OD&D as well as 3e-based rules (3.0/3.5/PF/IH). But browsing forums is just a time-sink I can't afford. :D My game related time-sink is working on my custom Whole Mystara map in HexMapper and Photoshop. Stuck in between work, work-travel, the-move-that-would-not-end, daughter's ballet/Chinese lessons/French lessons/just-spending-time, study, housework... etc. I'm sure there's more than one MML lurker in a similar position.

I think "Wonder what's new on the Vaults" then go get groceries... or more often than not it's when I'm waiting for a server rebuild/restore job/clueless user. About two months ago I spent an amazing couple of hours looking at info on Hule and looking for maps to integrate into mine. Printed everything to PDF and read it waiting at Pearson. Still fighting with trying to get it integrated. Ha ha. Presently Photoshop is still loading the map while I write this.

I have used it for years...oh well. That's because it's at the bottom of the page. Things like that really shouldn't be past the first "fold." Or how about a link to it that says "Get updates by email!" at the top of every category page? Generally people think that the most important things are at the top, and gradually become less important as you scroll down. > As for "trolling" at the piazza...it has a nice feature of being able to > check whats new and most active.

If no one minds me making a plug, it just so happens I've started a MOD for this forum software that may bridge the gap between the forum and the mailing list. Include the reply text in the notification email: http://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.php?f=70&t=1354985 Certainly would start to bridge the gap for those of us who prefer email! We could "watch" a forum or topics at our own discretion. If the person who runs the forum is interested in that, I can also provide some modifications on how to set "watching" to be constant until turned off (instead of stopping to send notifications after one reply).
