email list?

[Bill.Oakes]

I haven't seen anything on the email list in a long time, and don't see it mentioned on the site anywhere now either. Is it gone or am I missing something?

thanks

I've been missing it, too. Nothing in the last 2-3 weeks. Don't know if maybe it crashed with the site or not.

How do you get on the list?

thx

Currently there is no (active) list, When it was active there was a link on the home page to subscribe to it.

And just what was it that this list sent to you?

I didn't even know that there was such a thing... :stupid:

People would send emails asking questions, answering questions, discussing things of interest concerning Z's to this address: list@240z.org, the emails would then be forwarded through the server to everyone who had subscribed (either as individual emails, or a "digest" single email containing all messages sent during the day) People could then answer the questions posed, make comments, etc which would be forwarded to all members.

The IZCC, www.ZHome.com has a similar mail list covering (predomantly) North American varients of Z's (S30, S130, Z31, Z32, etc) It is a very busy list

The beauty of the 240z.org list was that it was specific to S30 Z's and was more laid back than the IZCC list.

On the left side of the screen, there is a dropdown box labeled "Module Jump". Scroll down until you see "Newsletter". Before the server/website upgrade, it never worked for me, but now it does, wahoo.

Hi guys, here's an update. Sorry about the list but it went down when the server was reformatted. I am working on getting it back online, but, the mailing list software is a bear to configure properly with our new system. I am having difficulties because we are now set up with "virtual" accounts and making it work with the mailing list software is not that straight forward. I'll pull out my toolbelt and get it going again soon.

Sorry to be asking the obvious but........ What is the purpose of the list? (ie what does it do the site doesnt)

[Bambikiller240]

It doesn't "do" anything that the site doesn't do. In fact, you cannot send attachments so pictures and graphic are out.

It does give people an alternative to cruising the site to get or give information. The mail list existed long before the club website, a precursor to the website, if you will. It was estabished by Mike as an alternative to the very busy IZCC mail list which caters to all Z models. The S30 series information was getting kind of lost amongst all the S130, Z31, Z32 content (as I understand it)

If a person signs up for the regular mail list, all of the messages and replies come directly to your email account and you can choose to read or delete as you see fit. Some people like it this way.

If you sign up for the "digest" version of the list (which compiles all the individual email messages into one "package email" that is sent to you once a day, people can read and respond at one brief sitting and move on with life. Some people like it that way.

Anybody else have info?

The 240z list is a small group of guys that doesn't want to wade through all the stuff on the site or worry about lots of non-Z content. 99% of all messages are related to the 240z in some way.

No need to open the web browser, just small conversations in email.

It is a great format for information and help with poblems and like was said dedicated to the early classic Z . Once in a great while it can get off track but rarely , usually when compairing the Z to other cars performance. Then the topic can turn to the Jag or what ever was discussed. There are several people that have been into 240Zz actively for many many years. I miss the site, Mike I hope you can do your magic. Thanks for all your hard work, I have a tendency to take this great effort for granted , thanks again . Gary
