    Most of those groups are deserted because people outgrew them and/or its troublesome being in 6 groups with the same people. We either end up on boards in the end or we abandon ctyi on the internet altogether.

    Thats why we set up here, because all of those yahoogroups and mostly mailing lists... which are *really* *Really* annoying.

    Or they've got a fundamental set group of people who post to them and they ignore everyone else, which annoyed me.

    Plus yahoo! reserve the right to the contents of every group, ie. if you post up a poem/story on them then you have effectively given the copyright to Yahoo!

    Plus boards is fun, you can talk to other people too. :)

    Hmmmm...I'm moderator on a few of these groups, so I should probably say a word or two about them.

    ctyidebate is still going relatively strong, but the crowd who hang out on there tend to be the people who left CTYI 2 or more years ago. The group does welcome new members, but not if they're just going to be wittering meaninglessly (only I'm allowed to do that). There generally are some serious discussions occasionally. Don't be scared if everyone disagrees with you, some of us just do it because we like a good argument.

    fizzytings is also alive and kicking and is generally a more, well, fizzy place. There are intelligent discussions (just like there's random crap on ctyidebate) but it's more of a place for people to shout at each other.

    Both of these groups have an entrenched group of regulars who may seem a bit off-putting at first, but they're generally nice people. Just don't piss them off too much.

    Also mentioned have been ctyi-reunion and ctyibitch. These are pretty much dead. Don't bother.

    Marty
